855 Big Bore Kit

Just heard through the grapevine that Cornerspeed are in the process of developing an 855 kit foir 748's.

As far as I can gather he is having special pistons made in the states to keep the weight the same as the smaller 748 pistons to avoid having to re-balance crank - and of course strip the engine down to far!

He is getting the cylinder bored and nickersil plated locally though. Can't wait to see/try the first one!

For once the grapevine is correct
Still some detail work to do, but the first batch of pistons are on order and due in from the States in about 3 weeks.
Watch this space.......as they say

Regards Syer.

Thats one of the "details" to be finalised Syer, but as a package, based around a full top end refurb and the best part of a full service, I'm trying to get it around the £1800 mark, possibly less.
Lots of sums to do yet though

initial interest is good though......so good that it looks like my own bike will now have to wait a while longer

Ahh, I'm touched. Probably by madness but that's better than tarmac
Let us know how you get on.
