Project started in 1989, bike sent to dymo in Northants who pulled it apart, they went bust and gave it back in a million bits, but without a single nut, bolt, washer or shim to rebuild it with. So he ordered new everything and the build up began.

 

Chain drive was done by Tony Kershaw in staffs, swingarm and frame mods, monoshock etc by spondon in Derbyshire. Turbo and nitrous system by Alan Jeffries at  NCK Coventry.

New solid output shaft and 5th gear with 1-1 ratio made in Liverpool. Centrifugal lock up clutch and cover spacer, plus nitrous injector plate, mikuni HSR 42 turbo carb by debben Kawasaki in Ringwood Hants also manual cam chain tensioner. Carrillo rods and tech help from bike wiz kid Ashwin  Zala in Basildon.

 Exhaust pipe work and silencer by Mark Hill performance. Air brushed art work by Brian at fantasy  art work at Watford. All billet items machined up to Daves spec at Pretech engineers in Reading.

Carb fuelling set up by Keith and Andy at dynotec, Bramley Basingstoke.

 

To date the motors been run 4 hours and all seems well, but new valve stem seals failed so had to be replaced along with one off lazer cut copper head gasket, wound motor up gently in 5th gear and she's putting out 208bhp and 144ftlb torque, which was enough to snap the rear engine mount bolt, which has  been replaced with a one off en80 machined item, as has cyl head studs.

Barrels are 'o' ringed to seal compression, pistons are held by Teflon buttons etc etc. Just have to reassemble top end and sort out hydraulic clutch lifter and she'll be ready to rumble.

 

 Magneto ignition and relevant drive also by Tony Kershaw as was one off large capacity radiator.
