Hey guys, located in gothenburg sweden. Building a bored out triple with sissy bar and apehangers. This will be a 3 stage build, aiming at finishing the engine, electrics and bronze gas tank this winter, next year i'm going for rake and stretch, maybe hardtailing and pimping the exhaust.

Think i got this picture thing down now..
Stuff I'm taking to the engine builder tomorrow for some measuring and discussion. Hopefully he can resleeve, bore, and make things nice for me to assemble before springtime!
Also hoping to get a new cam profile ground out. Anyone got a recipe for hot street cams??

Resleeving these cylinders were gonna be too expensive to be motivated, so im looking for some xs850 barrels..

There was a few cyls out on ebay this summer, missed all of them as i thought resleeving was an option, because im sitting on 2 750 cyls. But i think i found some on the xstriples forum now so i'll be sorted..

Started on the tank today, bronze is an amazing alloy to work with, so much nicer than hammering out that damn stainless seatpan..
