Title: B50 with Ducati top end
Post by: Marc.com on September 13, 2009, 06:59:27 pm

Anyone spot the B50 with Ducati Pantah barrel and head in the latest Classic Bike magazine.

Very cool project.

Let me guess, a push rod 4 valve head.
This is of interest to me as I have a B50 engine minus a head as my father originally intended to fit a Weslake top end to it.

I will scan a picture of it, no push rods involved, it is desmo head from 600 Pantah with belt drive through the ignition shaft.
Lot of machining but very cool.
