1 gram less after sandblasting and anodization

It's coming.... This is the second attempt I did to turn it on. It needs a big refinement job on the carburation, but it sounds great, The yoshimura stage 3 cams and the gsxr alternator did a supreme job. The live sound is absolutely astonishing, full of power. The Taoh give a wonderful timbre.

Ahh - this is not a Rick Oliver one, it is an original G-force one

So, uses an insert into the original cover. I am that old skool...

I'm curious, because for sure Rick did a good job, but my friend Franco is also careful to make the things well. Franco's cover is about 1/4 inch less protruding than stock and has an incredible honda familiy feeling look.

Never heard of the G-force, and am always curious. Please send images if you can get some.

Now then!

I was glad to see you posting in this thread again as it reminds me to get you some pictures of the original config for the Suzuki generator fitment.

Luckily for you :D I have a box of rammel downstairs that I am suire has the engine cover in it - so when I have a moment frmo lunch I will go find it, clean it up and weigh it too.

Such a great thread this one

Just watched the link - That sounds excellent too.

The speed of the revs are something else too - I will refit my generator for sure as that really does show how much of a difference it makes.

Molto Bene!

Hi CMSMJ1, yes it does a huge difference. But the cams gave much of a kick in the ass! The spanish Taoh exhaust has a wonderful sound, I guess it's a copy of something coming from the Japan, but in any case it's the cherry on the top of the cake.

In the middle picture you can see how my friend Franco started from the left and went to the right...
It suit a Spal fan VA32A 101 62A



The fan is located on the right side of the lower radiator to allow the passage of the front pipes and to leave the upper radiator rear side free to locate the panel to lead fresh air to the carbs as per HRC VF400RK manual

A new Magtek rear rim ready for penetrating liquid test, PEO treatment (used by russian army on magnesium parts, It's a plasma oxidation that allow far better resistance to humidity) and dust sprying.

The rim is wonderful when chemical paint strip applied.

The frame received some minor mods and next week will be painted and ready for final building. Pictures will be on line.

Does someone in the UK do this"PEO treatment"?? It seems to very new.......I am interested in this as I have two old Marvic rims.
