Don't go over the top with bumping up the compression you will pull the cylinder studs right out of the cases there shit material

Nice work,
What are the other specs, wheels, brakes, forks etc?
It's coming together very nice.

front wheel is from a Moto Morini Kanguro . for the rear i wanted something with a rubber mounted sprocket carrier to make things easy on the gearbox . found out a Yamaha XT 350 has a transmission damper in the hub and its pretty light .

front forks i made myself . sliders are Betor from a Cagiva . stancions are from a Honda VTR 250 and have sliding bushings . i had the cagiva sliders honed 1mm bigger for the bushings .
made damperrods out of 6061 aluminum and had them hard anodized .
put racetech emulators on top of the rods .
tripple clamps are Marzocchi .

it has been a while but a little update on the bike .

engine build is done . i put a HPI ignition on it and it is a first or 2nd kick starter . very nice idle and it pulls like a freight train from low down . i did not put this engine on the dyno but it should have 38 / 40 rw hp
