Seeley Honda #SH7-672
Zunspec:
I have been offered a Cycle X 850cc piston kit from someone who bought one from the USA but really wanted std. pistons. My apologies for asking but the "search" facility returns zero posts, even if I just put in Honda lol ;D I guess a glitch there somewhere.
The kit is destined for a std. F1 engine but I am interested in the pro's and con's of the cast 850 pistons vice a forged 836cc kit (Wiseco etc.). If I do go big bore it would be sensible to add a cam and also flow the head etc. I don't want to go so far that I need stronger rods but upgrade to valve springs/retainers and barrel studs would be OK. This is not for racing, a stronger road engine is the goal.
Thank for any insights
Cheers Geoff

Colin Seeley was kind enough to sign a copy of the Classic Bike magazine feature for me. A nice addition to the bike history, I think he liked the article too.
Cheers Geoff

I received a letter confirming the authenticity of my bike from Colin Seeley today. A great addition to the bikes history and well worth the donation to the Joan Seeley Pain Relief Trust. Thank you Colin 8)
Cheers Geoff

I know nothing about the Seeley Honda's but what a lovely piece of history. I bet your really proud of that, as will any future owner.
Zunspec:
Thanks Julie,
The provenance of this bike is pretty special so very nice to have it's originality confirmed by the man himself.
Cheers Geoff
