Alright, So I Finally caved and sold my buddy my Drag bike H2 750 I had So he could put the engine into a 73 H1 I sold him not long ago.
We were worried it might need race gas or somthing but not sure. I havent had a chance to go through it and see what all it had done to it....compression seems REAL strong though. I cant even kick it without boots.....

any suggestions? good starting point?

150-155 cranking compression is about all gas will handle. so find out what you have.

Great we will check the compression. thx! wasn't sure what that number was!

Lights and license plate.

suspension. if it has struts, get shocks on. plates are overrated....

I guess I should have been a little more specific. So before this gets too far off topic:

I know what is needed to make a bike street legal and I have all lights, electronic components, suspension components, ect in order to make the bike look, ride, and function on the road in good working order.

What I was mainly asking about was internal engine components. What usually gets done to the drag bikes that might cause it to loose drive ability/ reliability and cause heart ache during the process of tuning and making this a runner.

Trans, fuel, high compression ect.

Check if you have an oil pump, some opt to pre-mix. Im in favor of having one for the street.

You might have to reduce compression. Most mods are to make things stronger, so not a bad thing. It "might" be ported too hard for the street and be a dog at lower RPM. You will just have to try it and see.

Thx moo and everyone else that posted. I will check compression, run it a bit if it checks out ok and go from there. hopefully its not to radical for street riding.
