I'm a little bit affraid of asking the price of this billet block....but i need to know,sorry if you already post this information MRieck

They retail for 1499.00 Plating is extra. I can give a package price if I sell Wiseco 70mm pistons, MLS head/base gaskets and send the block out for plating. The block can be decked up .020 PRIOR to plating.

Went to see Mike yesterday who very generously helped me put new sprockets and chain on the VStrom. After this we (his son, Mike and myself) installed the 1000cc megaton engine - the photos dont do it justice - this is a beautiful looking engine. And check out that swingarm

bling bling!!!

The hard part is over...

And the swingarm...

I cant wait to see this bike run as the previous version (the 915 that produced 98 bhp) was like riding a modern sports bike - sooooo smooth and powerful.

thanks Mike!

cheers
Andy

cool sneak peak! Thanks for sharing. What swingarm is that anyway?

MRieck · « **Reply #578 on:** August 06, 2012, 05:32:08 AM »

The swingarm is a JMC. Your most welcome Andy...always a pleasure to see you.

Looks great Mike, it is going to be a beast. Happy to see you are stepping it up a bit...

I really want one of those blocks...

Yes Stan.....16 in stock.

Tintop · « **Reply #586 on:** October 30, 2012, 01:48:21 PM »

Mike - can you do a block / piston kit that would come out at 945cc. That's our class displacement limit for the P3 sidecars. If that's possible, I'd do a swap. Someone (Stan-2?) buys a block / piston / gasket kit from you, I ship them my 1060(?) complete kit. Possible??

Brian

Tintop · « **Reply #587 on:** October 31, 2012, 08:06:33 PM »

Looks like I'll get to use that 1060 kit of mine after all. Word is that AHRMA is / has changed the P3 sidecar engine rule to 750 - 1300cc 4 stroke any configuration.

MRieck · « **Reply #588 on:** March 02, 2013, 02:07:08 PM »

I am just giving this a bump....I do have plenty cylinders in stock and the sequester has NOT affected my ability to get them out.

754 · « **Reply #589 on:** March 03, 2013, 03:31:57 PM »

Mike I cant afford one.. But I bet if we had a rafflefor one I could buy tickets, and. Maybe abit can go to the site..

Probably could do that a few times..

I'm saving up the ducketts, Want one bad just need coin, and a bunch of 'em at that

fang · « **Reply #591 on:** June 01, 2013, 06:48:54 PM »

After wanting one since you first started advertising, I finally get to buy.
Sign me up and send me a bill. I'll buy a full cylinder+pistons+gaskets set.

Folks, I already have one of Mike's special heads and some fancy carbs. I sent off my Crank to Big Jay for some Carillios and his magic touch. Now I need one of these cylinder sets. Will post pics.

G'day
Are these blocks suited to street use or only for track.
I tried sending a PM but couldn't get it to work.
I need to get a good engine built for a bike and would like to start working out a rough price
Thanks
Scott

Most of the ones i've seen are on the street, or going on the street....

Scott · « **Reply #594 on:** June 11, 2013, 08:08:11 PM »

does that mean you see one when you walk out to your garage.
If so how good does it look, and do you mind if I ask round about what I may need to spend to get a good engine for street use.

Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er · « **Reply #595 on:** June 11, 2013, 10:55:22 PM »

Scott,

In all seriousness you COULD spend over $7000 (3 zeroes) USD on an engine BUT ONLY IF YOU WANT TO. I wanted to

Tell us what your goal is and we can fill in the numbers for you.

Scott · « **Reply #596 on:** June 11, 2013, 11:48:23 PM »

Mate it's to go in a Rickman I'm slowly putting back on the road.

I've got other bikes to ride so I don't think it will get used all that often. But when I do ride it I want it to go better than what most people would expect from a CB750 .

I want it to be fun (quick) but because it will only be used on the road it needs to be able to putt around at 30 to 40 MPH on my way to the good roads.

I have no idea what the best combination of engine size, head work, crank work, carburation or anything but I don't think $6000 to $7000 is unreasonable plus it would cost me $600 to $1000 to get it shipped out to Australia if I can't find anyone here to build it
I guess one last thing is that the engine may get swapped out of the Rickman and put into the K2 for a bit of fun on special occasions (trip to Phillip Island)

Gday Scott, mines still in a box but its 1000cc with Nikasil bores and is dead sexy....

To go with what Jerry said, I have spent around 5-6 grand on engine parts already and have a few thousand to go, Mine WILL go better than anyone expects a 750 to go...

You don't need to get an engine built overseas at all, plenty of good builders here, some expensive, some not...
Hang around here, do your homework and you'll have a good engine, there's a few fanatics from Aus right here and we will help steer you in the right direction, just depends on how much money you want to spend, its not about money for me, its about getting what i want, and doing it properly...

Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er · « **Reply #598 on:** June 12, 2013, 12:07:01 PM »

Stage IV head ~ $2000
Crank work with Carrillo rods installed ~ $1500
Cam, sprocket, Tsubaki chain and KA Tensioner ~ $700
Tranny work ~ $400
915/970/1000 Bore kit and stock cylinder work ~ $1500 (if over 849cc)
MRieck cylinder stuff ~ $?
Primary chains and tensioner ~ $250
Gaskets, bearings, o-rings, etc ~ $500
Carbs ~ $800
Powdercoating engine cases ~ $400
Etc

Oh yeah, it'll run better than a 'normal' 750 - MUCH better and have 50% more power at least.

Scott · « **Reply #599 on:** June 12, 2013, 01:44:12 PM »

thanks for the replys guys
I've contacted Mike and will start looking into it a bit more seriously now.
Seems to me I could have a heap of fun with an engine like this
