    Lucky find?

    I think this is off an 84' 1150e, cant wait to get home and open it up to see what waits inside. I'll take some better pics when I get home.



    polished up nice

      Haha no way! I don't think the frame would be able to take it. It might get dropped into one of the 1100's we have though

        Ahhh. That makes a bit more sense. Your sig only mentions one bike, my mistake

        Post frame pics regardless!

            Probably bigger than a 1229 since that's the largest the stock block can be bored.
            I'm a bit curious too!
            That head is ported too.
            Probably a dragbike motor. I hope it isn't blown.
            Does the crank move?

                  How about a bit more of how/where it was found.

                      Believe it or it was found in a junk yard in so cal, snagged it for dirt cheap. Yeah the carbs were no where to be found same with the tensioner. Well my uncle doesnt wanna tear into it just yet, seems I jumped the gun on that in my excitement. So its really just at his discretion now. When we do tear into it Ill make sure to post an update.

                        I would be pulling the head and taking a peek ASAP.
                        You need to know what is in store for you.
