Just for Speedpro - the cut end of the head and barrel and how I've decided to seal it - initially anyway.
Barrel is cut as far back as possible commensurate with finding something to put screws into. Head to match.
Yes Dave that is filler in a couple of spots, it's unavoidable unless you do a fair amount of welding.
The wall thickness is such that I reckon the whole thing would distort if it was welded anyway.
The tapped hole which is cut through is actually a casting plug for the water jacket - not the plug hole.
Plate goes on covering the ends of the cam cover. Those ends have rubber channel bonded to them which is hard up against the plate.
If it weeps, I can easily dummy up some solid blocks to bolt on the cam cap position - then drill the plate and tap the blocks for another couple of screws.
We'll see if it's needed first.
There's an RGV250 rolling chassis on the trademe at the mo in Chch, not sure if that would do the job or not though as I have no experience stuffing large things into small spaces... Or is it small things into large spaces...
Sign me up! I weigh next to nothing so if you want to show everyone how fast it is on the Ruapuna main straight, I'm ya man, just excuse me for the corner bits
The best chassis for it is what it came out of, surely?
Haha, fair enough too! Will be interesting to see this run, lets hope whoever buys it sticks it on the track n not the shed!
I doubt that RGV will go for the full 1k, and as mention above it would be bloody heavy for a bucket. Great chassis from what I have heard though, usually spoken in hushed voices about how good they can take a corner

Yes, often by us old buggers who haven't woken up to the advances in frames and tyres since 1992...
At this point I rather like the idea of bringing it out with a guest rider for feature meetings - but I have almost enough bits for a second motor which might be for sale...
Right - until i can get round to narrowing the ignition side, this is about as far as it goes at present.
Speedpro will note in the rear view that I did what I suggested to him and changed the water pump outlet to a tangential direction. In conjunction with an altered fitting on the back of the barrel this allows a short hose up and across. This loses the metal pipe going out and around...
Even though it now looks like it's going into an FZR250 frame I'm still trying to lose width where possible.
In line with this aim, I used the earlier sump which has a filter element fitting up from underneath. The late one which is interchangeable uses a spin on filter sticking out underneath the final drive sprocket.
It's finished up quite light. can't give a figure and it's certainly not an MB100 for weight - but not bad at all.
