Started the engine today. This 7 year project is now over 98% completed. Next weekend hope to have the first ride.

The engine sounds sweet and much quieter than the KH500, maybe due to use of extended stingers through the last cone section. Throttle response is very crispy and when returned from rapid acceleration, the chambers provide a beautifull mellow sound. I’m starting to love it.

I wish to thank all from this and other boards who helped with valuable information, parts and services along these years.

As I have some time, I’ll start posting pics of the full project from beginning with more details, inside this topic.

Fork is GSXR 750 (I think 2004); Swingarm from a Brazilian Honda 250 model, but strongly modified.
