Well done lad, good luck with the build.

What motor is that? Looks like an old upright Z1000 engine

Good torquey engine the big yam, can be tuned up a fair bit too, how are you going to supply the cooling for it, side ducts, overhead scoop?

Cheers

Bigger oil cooler plus sum extra ducting. Will be trial and error till i get the right amout of cooling needed.
