Engine build

34nineteen, this is my 2nd motor with the 1050 kit. Can’t give you much review of this motor but my previous motor was an animal. With head work, xb12 tb, header, and Proper Tuning the 1050 kit will rip. Highly recommended. Probably wouldn’t see a huge gain of doing the 1050 kit by itself though

Here are pics of the broken valve seat. Meeting Dan in Chicago tomorrow to give him the motor.

While i'm waiting on the motor. I'm on the fence about this one. I'm more of a remove things not add things kinda guy. What you guys thinks?

 

[mike lowary]

Oh ya. I'm talking about the brake ducts. Key piece of information there.

Looks are subjective, IMO, I like it!

There is flow analysis that proves there's better air flow outside of a spinning object, so it should work to cool the brakes better if that what you need. That said, I put one on the EBR and it still hates trail-braking too much:upset:

Motor is ready! Unfortunately its gonna be 2 weeks before Dan and I can meet. In the meantime, I redid my breather reroute lines using black nylon braided hose and black AN fittings. Pretty happy with it.

Ah ok. I was gonna say I thought the front wheel is kinda mandatory.
I like the ducts as well. I have them on my SX. Cause they look cool

Meeting Dan tomorrow for my engine. Hopefully have it stabbed in the bike Sunday. Gimme one more decent 60 degree day and I’ll be riding. I’d like to at least get the 50 mile first ride done before I put her up. We will see. I’ll send pics of the motor

 

[Cooter]

Awesome. Can't wait

Quick update. Motor is installed for the moment. Waiting on some new pcv valves from St. Paul. Gotta rotate the motor for the new pcv valves but all good. Hopefully have it started by the weekend.
