    That stinger looks fairly large dia? Maybe it's just reflecting in an unflatering light. (does my stinger look fat in this?)

    The bit of pipe you can see is large.

    Well the power was way down with the new pipe and time was short so I caved in. Head and barrel off, 2mm spacer under barrel, 2mm headgasket out, little thin head gasket in. Lots more port timing but more importantly more time/area. Seemed to work as the bike had more power albeit in a smaller powerband. It was lovely to ride at Taupo. I was cruising round comfy like and my knee was dragging and clipping kerbs with no effort. It'll take a bit more practice to get comfy with some of the areas you can overtake if you are committed and also with the speed you can go in places, particularly turning onto the drag strip straight. Got a complete motor teardown now to see what the damage is with the bearing that dropped out. Barrell will be off to Pete Sales as well to get the proper corrections made to the porting to work with the pipe.

    Looks interesting indeed....

    I met a mate of yours at Wanganui... He was the flag waver going by the name of Chris.
    Said the last time he saw me I was up to his knees, so must have been a while.

    Time to confess - it's all my fault!

    I don't think the bearing caused any damage though leaving a "spare" bearing in the cases is something I will never do again, no matter what it takes to get it out.
    The problem is that over the last little while I have had a bit of oil leak out of the transmission now and again. I've always overfilled the transmission a little so never really thought about losing a bit. Problem was I had lost quite a few "bits" to the point where there wasn't enough. The end result is a couple of cogs have been scorched and one selector fork. I've swapped it for one of my spare gear clusters so no problem getting it all going again.
    So, lesson learnt about being slack with prep and maintenance.

    Yeah well I'm afraid the broken parts tell the tale. Just thinking about it I've done pretty well over the last couple of months with destroying engines.

    Lately about the only thing I haven't done to an engine is bend valves, eh.

    The rebuilt engine is together, new gearbox and the porting has been sorted by Pete Sales to the Wobbly ones specs. It feels good going up the road with plenty of bottom end and it seems to rev OK. Only a quick test though. Took a couple of pics before I crash it, got the new tailpiece on it now with the severely cutdown subframe. That pipe colour is how it runs. At Taupo it was that colour at the outlet as well. Pretty well spot-on I reckon.
