Thanks, nasty is the look I went for
I still want to put the site up in english in stead of dutch, with more info .... if I've got the time.
It was mostly build with the help of friends who have done these things before, like the battery-tray, which wasn't a lot of work. It took about 2 hours to put it there.
You need to take care of the overflow-tube from the battery. I forgot so my frame got dirty with battery-acid. Thank god it's alloy, not steel.
I've got a maintenance-free battery now.
The headlights are still the original '86 items, in the original housing but with a simple bracket which hangs from the top yoke.
The subframe is not modified (yet) so what you see is what you get when you take of all the plastic. I fitted an '87 1100 one-piece seat though (had an ugly red two-piece) and am planning to fit some sort of race seat-unit, if I can find the right one for a reasonable price. But on the other hand it's fine like this and sort of exclusive
About the 750 head: first of all, I didn't do the engine work myself. If you want specific info about that you can check out the forum on
RNS and look for a guy called Frankenstein. He build the engine (and did a very good job).
It seems the 750 head has a better flow than the 1100 head and the inlet ports are straight.
One minor problem with that; the carbs are more 'up-wards' which means there is no room for K&N filters so I had to use foam filters.
I don't know if it works with an 1052 engine, but I can't see why not. I believe it's a common mod among dragracers 'cause it gives a lot more top end power without any expensive goodies. You loose a little low down grunt but I'm determined to get that back as well
With the 36mm Mikuni CV's I've still got some 140+ hp at the rear wheel.
That's about it as far as your questions go. I've got a digital camera so if you want some detailed shots of some parts, let me know.
