Blooo Duke gets some r... erm, re........, oh ferg r e d parts, but dont say it too loud cos she'll get very upset. The testarossa heads arrive a few days ago, and Ive not stopped droolin over them since. ;):D;) So Nelly will be starting to fit new barrels bored out to 944, new hi comp pistons, extra oil lines, then the heads, superbly worked and gas flowed wiff blurdy big valves and all that good stuff. Fit the new ECU, run it up on the dyno, a likkle tweak here and there, then its orft to jolly ole Jerez we go. I s'pose I should ask Nelly to take a few piccies before the heads are fitted and get them posted here, then the "after the surgery" pics as well YIPEEEEEEEEEEEE bestest mort in a highly blooo mood, with a slight twinge of r.. and guilt :roll::roll::roll::roll::roll::roll: |
Paul, if you decide you feel too bad about it I can paint my head blooo and do you a swap!:devil: Can't wait to see the reports mate. |
RED - welcome to the fold mate!!! :D |
I can't believe Mort's gone off blue ... still, red is the logical choice, well-played Mort! :lol: ;) Charlotte, how you getting on with that Matiz you bought? :o |
Mort do you mean testastretta ie narrow head? Or is testarossa a make of bits as it means red head? Or are you fitting bits from a Ferrari? I am confused o blue one. :puzzled: |
No,it's deffo testarossa...... BIG valves, gas flowing, ST2 cams and a whole lot more. They look very Gucci in the flesh. Unlike Blooduke which when I saw her yesterday was more of a DirtyBrownGreyduke. Get it cleaned Mort.... you were moaning that you were bored! Andy :D |
Cor look, that's1000 posts! :lol: |
Both your last posts were 1000!:eureka: |
Many congrats Mort on the birth of your twin baby redheads! :D Please take lots of nice high-res piccies and post 'em for us too drool over.... If you need 'em hosting email 'em to ali@bisson.com and I'll chuck 'em on my site. Cheers, ali |
I'll get some piccies Mort. I'll take some of the bike (frame and forks) on the lift, the rear end on the floor, the engine on stand, the heads on the bench, the suspension on the table, the fuel system in the store room............ :sing: I've been busy today :devil: I just hope I can remember where it all goes :smug: The heads are of the MBP Testarossa type. Massive valves on repositioned valve centres, gas flow, MBP collets, special seats, ST2 cams, shortened inlets etc. Barrels are BCM 944cc race jobbies with Pistal pistons. FIM bespoke ECU. 10k rpm limiter. Should turn out 100bhp or so with torque just short of a 996 :devil: Of course it'll need road testing before the trip to Jerez :bouncy: |

So you've skimped on the job then Mort.... Where's the 'bludee jealous' smiley? |
Coldn't you have just bought a proper bike in the first place Mort? :lol: |
Yeti, its a real bike so p155 orft........you're just jealous Rushjob, but polishing frame and the other bits, rear swingarm still to do Jools :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: maybe not a jealous smiley but I feel like this Ali, Ive always told you Bloooduke was a she, but twin redheads, whose the Daddy then,?????? whose been up bloooduke's zorst when I wasnt looking, or is it whose been down the manifold when I turned my head away???????? Andy, testa rossa redheads, and no not from a ferrari, from far better than that, DUCATI and MBP in Canada Charlotte and Alan, its only a very likkle bit re.............d Just waiting for the dynorun and roadtest, but I get a likkle sneakin feeling that Nelly might get there before me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! bestest wiff a huge grin mort:D:D:D:D:D |
DAMN...got all excited thinking Nelly's piccies would be here. Strange, my wife was only saying she couldnt understand trainspotters etc :lol: |
You should have saves your money and bought a nice sensible bike lika a honda!:lol: |
Blooduke is an idol to all half faired, fuel injected SS riders! Such a pity mine's just an ickle 750 version..... Phill "saving his pennies for a big 900" C |
Once it's finished Mort will have one of the (if not THE) most powerful Two Valves in the country... There can't be too many other Brits with MBP heads... 'Bout the only thing to beat it would be one of the new 1000cc engines with MBP heads or a hand grenade like Chris Kelleys 970 (odd..) big bore http://www.ca-cycleworks.com/shop/heads/heads.html . Shame it's Bloo..... :devil: Darren |
As far as I know Darren, Bloo duke is the first to get the head conversion this side of the "pond". The 966 kit was the original plan, but it's a little more race focused, leaving the skirt a bit thin. Although Bloo gets some serious track time, she still does a lot of road miles so reliability was important to. MBP reckon that ultimately there is little difference between the 22cc's and they actually run 944 in their own race bike. Build it, race it all season and strip at the end. They haven't even had to do the valves. Now a 1000DS with these heads on..................that would be fun :devil: |

They do black ones of them dont they?...3 spoke red senna wheels...there's an idea forming here!;) |
