Very similar to a triumph

I wonder why?

Now you're just showing off! ;)
Very cool. I'm not sure if you have ever said if this will be a street bike. Did you consider the RadiusX?

Do you have a dyno run set up for after everything is broken in? I assume it's going to pull like a diesel. Wicked excited reading this thread. Good job.

 :)Please allow a geezer with sadly won experience to remind you to;

1. Pour oil in the engine.

2. Check oil level at least three times.

3. Triple check the drain plug

4. Triple check the oil filter

5. Put a sign near the ignition switch with these gentle reminders writ LARGE

6. Don't ask me how I learned these things

Piston is 3/4 inch larger in diameter

Nice jugs  ;)

Are the pistons same material just different finishing?

The machinist would know. He had to set the clearance.

I would predict that they are 2618.

Gremlinsteve,
Not sure if you said you were going to powder coat the clutch & magneto cover.
If you did or if anyone else has do you have to remove the top and bottom needle roller bearings in the clutch cover or can they be left in and just re grease them?
I do not want to oder the special tool unless I have to.
Thanks.
