Ok guys,
I have thought long and hard about this. I have done tons and tons of research and got some reasonable quotes for a 1397 12.5:1 package with drop in cams and a tranny undercut (the reason that I am having to do something, 2nd is screwed).
I have decided that I will probably use R&D for the tranny. Spoke with Mark yesterday and really liked the service he provides for the cost.
I have rebuilt several car engines over the years, but never a motorcycle engine.
I am looking for inputs on source of supply for the 1397 package and recommendations on the cams. I will be buying pieces parts over the 3-4 months so that I can do the engine over the winter.
I am also going to respring and re-valve the forks and mono shock for my weight.
So let me know what suggestions you guys have for cams and 1397 package.
Thanks in advance.
Don
BTW, the reason I have decided to do it myself is because I believe I can rebuild the entire thing like I want it for the cost of the labor to have someone else do it for me. I will have it tuned by a reputable tuner when I am done.
