Any interest in doing big 1000s ? Kits would be $900+ with sleeves.

What are the modifications required to go that big on a 2 valve 1000?

[rapidray]

Remove the stock sleeves, bore the block for new sleeves, bore & hone new sleeves for new pistons, bore upper case half to clear new sleeves. Definitely NOT a bolt on but not a big deal either. GREAT gain in torque & power! Build them JAY!!!! Ray.

Pistons and sleeves? I'll be in..

[blowerbike]

so will the 900 hundred+ dollars include jay installing the larger liners and boring/decking ect.. for the new piston kit?
i think it was RC that had a 1176 kits many moons ago for the 8v suzuki's.

I'm sure any labour will be extra.

Mo money, MO money, MO money!!!!!! But WORTH it!!Ray.

that could be near a 1500.00 piston kit total money spent.
alot of guys on this site squeal about buying a set of spark plugs...
IM KIDDING!!!
maybe

[rapidray]

First time they grab a fistfull of throttle on a bigger motor they will squeal like little girls with DELIGHT!!! Ray.

Total for machine work would be $314.00

If we do this, we would offer 1000 cylinder studs again.

What sort of hp would you guess a streetable big-bore conversion would return? That would certainly increase the popularity of the 8V motors!

Holy crap. I have a spare stock 1000 engine. I guess once my current project is finished, I'll just have to go for this. Count me in sometime around late spring/early summer.



Don't tell my wife!!

I could get 140 at the back wheel with porting, carbs, & the right cams & make it "daily driver" reliable fairly easy. Ray.
