I HOPE you took good notes!!! 8)

I just hope I can find the time this spring to mess with this along with the frankine engine project

 

Re: XJ700 Now with F1 engine from down under!

 

Dude... I've been following this thread closely, and all I can say is WOW!! I wonder how that would look and run on my bike?

You've got some serious skills man. What do you do for a living? NOMB, but just wondering.

 

Tactical Aircraft Mechanic, thats my job.

 

Just ordered a 4-1 MAC exhaust to replace that heavy factory restrictive crap.

 

Hey there Gennro, I just spent a delightful hour reading about the conversion. That would sure make my monster fly too and less likely to lean out a cylinder. That bike looks awesome! I can follow the build well, but would go crazy trying to make it work on my bike. Many kudos for the transformation.

Wow, any chance you're going to get this to a dyno and graph your gains?

Awesome stuff!

 

Prolly not.

 

Ah, ok. Things make a little more sense now. Lol

 

This build deserves to be featured in a Bike Magazine.

I don't know how many people are capable of completing such a Technical oriented Mod; but the Motorcycle Community outside of our Forum would find the particulars of this project very interesting reading.

Kudo's for letting us go along for the ride.
Great project.

 

Thanks Rick!

 

Ordered 2' of 1.5" OD aluminum pipe and two 3" long 1.5" ID silicone couplers to build some longer runners for the throttle bodies to help smooth out the intake air and help with cylinder fill. This coupled with a good flowing exhaust should help a lot.

 

i'd like to hear how much the 4-1 pipe changes the mixture

 

This is sort of related... but where did you get those intake pipes? They look great!

 

Those are just made from PVC pipe. I didn't like them at all so I took them off.

 

Well I ordered a 28" dragbar with a 4" pull back. Also ordered some new grips with skulls on the ends.

 

Update today. 2nd gear ate itself agian so I had to split the cases apart and replace the gear. Also decided to paint the engine black.

 

/acts like it's no big deal



dude bro, you're awesome

 

Thanks man!

Motorcycle engines are cake to work on. The engine is back in the bike and finished painting. Just waiting for the paint to dry over night. Will have my 4-1 exhaust tomorrow so it will get the heat wrap and installed! The drag bas should be here this week along with some skull hand grips.

I also won the auction for the XJ900 oil cooler, $44! So that will be here this week at sometime.
