Our 650 Triumph class record holder got head work, I fabricated a new exhaust, 34 MM Mikuni flat slide carburetors. And a 450 buck fancy ignition that failed instantly.... The ignition is made in New Zealand, 7 year guarantee means nothing when I have to wait two months for a replacement. We intend to be there for the first meet  with the engine unturned for all the changes....

Well.... I'm still working on it and were already past the first event.  :-D Hopefully i will be able to make the September

just a quick freshening to include:

new quick fuel carb
new cnc ported heads
new solid lifter cam
new valve train
new multi disc clutch

other than that everything stays the same.

I worked on the drivers fitment issue!!

I made the car much safer---I worked on the theory that if you fit in your car nice and tight you will be safer!! :-)
 I am 12 # safer --  :roll:  it is much harder to get out of----hmmmmm!  I feel a no beer---water and lettuce diet coming on  :-o
