I think that Fast by Ferrachi also do a stroker crank to take it to 1026 or thereabouts.

Does that mean prices increase for winter or decrease??
My bike is due a "big-un" so will be calling you up sometime soon.

P.S. this article is on the workshop wall at moto rapido ( again i think. As it was on the photos of wilfs track bike build)

the 996 can be bored out 2mm with the fitment of pistals 100mmbore pistons to get 1037cc or 1068 with a 900ss crank.

i have done 2 long stroke 1026 conversions and the number 1026 will only yeild a few hp unless combined with other mods. see brads motoone performance notebook he has just back to back tested a few.

i guess going 1037 2mm overbore instead will make better use of the combustion chamber after deshrouding and this MAY make better power than the long stroke 1026 version.

I've seen the article I think, linked above

what kind of power did the ones you've done make? Eg my 996 made 126 rwbhp on a dyno some time ago, would this be likely to go 130, 140, 150?

I have just spoken to steve at M R who said to expect about 10 HP in the mid range and about 5 HP more at the top end.Its a bit like doing an 853 kit on a 748 basicaly loads more useable mid range.His 1026 has had the full corse treatment giving about 155HP at the wheel on his stingey dyno with s/s quarter mile times of 10.3 in the high 140MPH.

Awesome
