I think a v force 3 reed valve is first on the shopping list, that should help the spread of power. But we have some ideas to try on the barrel.

Coop:
That's sweet.

Friend of mine did all the welding and fabrication, the exhaust was probably the biggest job. He builds trials cars and was british sidecar enduro champ a few years ago, so was full of good ideas.

The best idea was for the cylinder head mount, there's a cross member linking the frame rails and all the electrics are mounted on the top. Engine comes out again tomorrow, so will take some more pics then.

I was just going to say that the pictures looked like they were taken in the UK, looked awfully green grass :-D

Where are you based?

ktmdude:
Nice job. That looks very clean and will be very fun. You mite try a heavy fly wheel weight to smooth out power.

570mitch:
I live in Cornwall in the UK and the flywheel trick sounds promising, would probably help with traction off the line also. Barrel's away at the moment having a new coating, then a Wiseco piston in going in. I've been talked ito trying a 41mm carb aswell.
