This is Outstanding I personally know how difficult it ts to take a 1950 engine design and build off that to get speed.  Building as much as possible plus machine the engine and assemble the parts yourself is truly the only way to get it done. It takes so much effort to go where no one else has been before adding the fact he built his bike also Alp will get there for sure.     :cheers:
