Here are a few teaser pics. More to come. Engine is now assembled (waiting on covers from chromer) and small items on frame are installed.
Frame was raked an additional 6 degrees for a total of 33 in the frame (the rake counting the forks is 38). I am also installing a 3" over swingarm which is at the chromers right now too.
Engine is actually an old 83 or 84 venture 1200 that has been bored 20 thou and stock oversize vmax pistons used. The block has been decked .040 to get the piston closer to top of the deck. The sleeves are "o'ringed" and cometic .043 copper gaskets installed. Cams are megacycle and about the largest we can use with stock buckets. Heads have been ported and use stock valves.
We have custom oil pump drive gears which overdrive the oil pump by 25% and helps keep oil pressure up for high rpm use. The mains are cross drilled to provide oiling to the crankshaft thrust surface. Oil pressure should be 80-100lbs at cruising speeds. The engines have been tested with this combination to 11,300 rpm under extreme loading conditions and survive well.
The transmission is one of our overdrive units with stock 1st through 4th gears and a royal star fifth gear. Shift drum has been upgraded with newer shift segment and pins.
The bike is getting a lot of chrome in both black chrome on the red side of the bike and regular chrome on the black side of the bike. Solid mounts are being installed as is a pair of frame braces.
Many other custom parts are being put in too. One of our digital speedo's will be installed with built in shift light and tach. Braided brake lines, R1 brake calipers, 05 forks, 17" rear wheel and radials all around. Works shocks on the rear and racetech springs in the front end.
Of course on our seats will be on it as well and is also a split personality seat with black and carbon fiber on one side and all smooth black on the other.
I haven't decided if I am going to use flatsides or stock carbs with one of our jet kits. I will probably use the 41 flats I have until I get the second bike done which will be a 1500 engine with even more radical internal parts.
All in all this should be a very slick bike when done and will showcase what we offer in our products.
