RIQUE & Kevin, nice of you to say. I've learned so much from the people on this board, just trying to give back a little. I have 3 S-bikes and love them but they really are not made for what I'm attempting to do. It's certainly had it's pains. They are dated bikes now.

However the dual cam heads look very promising but it's still going to be limited without water cooling. It was a big disappointment to me that the boxers went water but not a big bump in power (150 HP or more). I bet you can get them to make 160 HP or more. Swapping pistons in that motor is a real *****. You should look at how you get the wrist pins out and the tools you need.

If I give up on the S-bikes, I like the Ducs, MV 800s and KTMs, so we'll see. For now I get to rebuild and build things.
