    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Lucky find?

I think this is off an 84' 1150e, cant wait to get home and open it up to see what waits inside. I'll take some better pics when I get home.

Are you planning to put this beast in your '77 750?!

If so.... Wow. Gonna be a super sleeper :eek:
 
Haha no way! I don't think the frame would be able to take it. It might get dropped into one of the 1100's we have though
 
Ahhh. That makes a bit more sense. Your sig only mentions one bike, my mistake ;)

Post frame pics regardless!
 
Vance & Hines cylinder block....could it be a 1229cc kit or bigger hiding inside??

Probably bigger than a 1229 since that's the largest the stock block can be bored.
I'm a bit curious too!
That head is ported too.
Probably a dragbike motor. I hope it isn't blown.
Does the crank move?
 
Im pretty sure it does, I'm at work now and super excited to get home and open her up. Ill make sure to keep you all posted and take pics of the insides :D
 
Believe it or it was found in a junk yard in so cal, snagged it for dirt cheap. Yeah the carbs were no where to be found same with the tensioner. Well my uncle doesnt wanna tear into it just yet, seems I jumped the gun on that in my excitement. So its really just at his discretion now. When we do tear into it Ill make sure to post an update.
 
I would be pulling the head and taking a peek ASAP.
You need to know what is in store for you.

Alright, we dug into her today, the pistons had some carbon build up on them but we scratched a little off and theyre still nice and chrome underneath. Measured the bore and its 83mm, looking at the APE site they means its a 1395cc or a 1400cc motor. Here are some pics:

something that struck as odd, was the cam has what looks like a speedo drive on it? But there isn't a speedo port on the front of the motor? would that mean they're from another bike?
Ill get some pics of the pistons later. :cool:
 
Look for a grind number by the sprocket on the cams. Most aftermarket cams have the tach gear for the 1100s.
 
Oops, tach drive my mistake. I'll get that grind number and look for a stamp after we take the sprockets off the cams.
