Project 2v SBK 4/1/10 update

[TAftonomos]

This has officially begun.  

Something wicked this way comes  



Take notice of the color of the valve covers  I have to go pick it up in a few weeks, but it's a "good" start

1000ds motor is enroute as well, should be hear early next week.

I spoke with Chris Kelly, who will be my source for FCR's and ignition bits for the ds motor.

This is gonna be fun

Yes this is going to be fun to watch.  Looking forward to seeing this project.  So, is that the same DS1000 engine that was mentioned before in the previous thread?

[TAftonomos]

Indeed it is.  Once he packed it, I plugged the numbers into UPS... came out to be $89 to ship it ?!?!?!  Sounds good to me .

I'll have to save a bit for the FCR's, the ignition, and a few other odds and ends, but that "base" bike is loaded already...and most of it I'll be re-using.

I too am doing a 2v sbk, your other threads got me thinking of something I've been trying to forget about.  I bought most of that 916/SS on ebay, I'll start my own thread when anything starts happening.  Can't wait to watch your progress, mine will probably be slower.

I just got off the phone with Paul actually, cool dude!

Congrats on that purchase, I had my eyes on it as well.  LMK if you need forks, I've got 2 sets now that I need to sell (999 and 1098) 

[1KDS]

Yeah, Paul's been great.  He sold me the custom built exhaust and a couple other bits that are unique to this bike.  I'll cruise over to the parts section and take a look.

Damn son,
I can't see the valve covers, I am blinded by the gold on the shock...

I'm envisioning a 749 with a SSSA and am quickly becoming envious!  Even better, with an air cooled motor .  Can't wait to see the progress on this one

Hint, they are mag .  Came stock on one bike, for 2 years.  They arn't staying cause I'm not going to use a 4v powerplant.

Is it a set of magnesium wheels which are the same color as those valve covers? 

Good luck with your new DS1000.  How much are the FCR's gonna cost you?  Have you decided to go with stock pistons or are you going to go for something bigger? 

[2001cromo]

looks like an R to me, either 749 or 999. I'm guessing 749. Those are sweet chassis to build on.

[TAftonomos]

Chromo gets the

Didn't know 749's got the mag covers, this is the big one.

Unsure on the big bore kit at this point.  Realistically, I wasn't planning to move nearly this fast on the project.  Might be awhile before I can get the FCR's.  Around $1500 all said and done for the FCR singles, stuff to put them on, and the ignition parts new from Chris.  I'm sure I could piece them together cheaper, but unless I come across some sweet deals on ebay, I'll be getting them from him.  He helped me out the last time I bought FCR's for my 900ss, and it's time to support the guys that need it.

I think he deserves some higher resolution bacon.
