Project: Shitter

[KungFooBob]

Things to buy...

a pair of honda quality crank bearings, according to the workshop manual, they have to be replaced EVERY time the cases are split!

Some oil seals and a full gasket set.

I hope to have the engine finished by 2015.

That's a pretty tight deadline.

Engine finished 2015, rest of bike some time 2023, maybe.

Missed this. An interesting project and in the appropriate forum to boot.

You going for the flat tracker look or the faux Goldstar(ish) route Giles?. What sort of power could the engine put out with all those tuning bits you have. Nice and light and 50 bhp would make a fun bike.

Cheers Geoff

Honda figures were 44bhp, but I think they make about 36bhp stock at the wheel.

The GB500 was the 'retro' version of the XBR which looked a bit like a Goldie, I quite like the idea of an alloy tank/seat unit but we'll have to wait and see.... in 2023.

Jesus fucking wept.
