The previous owner gave the "Old Girl" a hard time, 7000 km of competition.
So she gets new 87mm pistons & liners,new bearings, new valves & valve guides and a new rallycamshaft & camfollowers and new lightweight conrods.
I removed 7kg from the flywheel and get it balanced thogether with the crankshaft.
Now I'm prepairing a special aluminium cylinderhead with opened up chamber and compression 1:11
Here are some pictures.
Cheers Rudy.

She might be an "old girl" but you treat her like a lady. thumbs (Not the popular 60min makeover and botox injections grin2) Will you be racing it Ruud? Hope she makes it in time for Assen in July.
