101 questions is good.
Catch Sam at the Woodbridge Sprint in May (10th I think).
I'm supposed to be riding in the Thundersprint Cavalcade that weekend (on the Rickman) so will miss him again....

--- Quote from: Phil on March 03, 2008, 10:12:51 PM ---Wow! That is a lovely bike! The thread is interesting. The original CRs are very rare birds indeed. The only one I have seen in the flesh is in the old Honda museum at Suzuka. Sadly they would not let you take pictures (they do now). Is that the standard rear hub on your bike or one of those expensive magnesium jobs? What are the footrests - Disco Volante? Did you beef-up the cam holders? I have 101 questions ...
cheers,
Phil

The rear hub is stock Phil but has been converted to twin leading shoe.
The footrest are home made to CR spec.
The cam cover has welded on bosses that line up with the cam holders bolts. Bolts are threaded through the bosses untill they touch the cam holder bolts, then they are locked into position with lock nuts.
See it in the flesh at a track near you on the 10th May. ::) ::) ::)
Three down, 98 to go. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Sam. ;)

Is the Thundersprint not on the 11th Steve. We will be there if all goes to plan on the Saturday.
If we can get it on time, the bike will have a fully covered front end in the shape of a Georg Brown/Nero dustbin.
Sam. ;)

Yes Sam, but the "scrutineering" for the cavalcade starts at 0700 on Sunday. We'll be in a hotel...
Phil:
Thanks again Sam. I will be there if at all possible. Q96 - do you use 31mm or 29mm Keihin CRs? I am told to use 29s as my first engine will use standard con rods and therefore won't be able to rev high enough to enable the 31s to work. This is a "parade" engine - I am planning a Wiseco 836cc kit, Dynoman/ Megacycle cam, stronger valve springs and some mild headwork and the CRs. I am tempted to try a standard'ish F2 head? I have plans for engine 2 which I want to keep 750 with a light crank, Carrillos, Nova box etc. Q95 ...
Cheers
Phil
