This bike will be for Dan Wagner out of Colorado, former long-time G/BGMR record holder (in the old 797 Roadster) and a motorcycle partner for 40 years.
Starting with the engine; another Honda Silver Wing twin. This engine is ready for measurement, with CP 12.3:1 pistons, WebCam grind from last years successful bike (which is also under reconstruction), Rick Kemp heads with oversize valves, 20lb stiffer valve springs, and a button flywheel. This engine will be running my Mikuni 36s (from the APS-PG-500 bike), plus properly tuned intake and exhaust.
The engine will be running normal configuration (shaft drive, 3.08 ratio), but I've hand carved the cases and fitted a CX650 trans, mated to a modified CX500 primary drive. This mod adds over 15% to the original top speed, plus a much higher rev limit than stock engine.
Tomorrow night I'll start on the mild frame mod (a little extra wheelbase and GSX600 front end and wheel). Chassis will use Airtech Charlie Toy, with my homemade tailpiece.
This gives me a little something to do while the twin-engine bike is out getting exhaust and intake built.
