If you attempted to bore out a 3rd Gen to 1000 CC’s, you’d be boring into the water jackets and maybe even the cam gear towers. Laughable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was used in WWII radial engined fighters to give them greater compression for extra power and in other applications as well. Hitting the water jackets AND the extra CCs -- sounds like a win-win to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer JZH Posted May 18, 2019 Member Contributer Share Posted May 18, 2019 Buy it for $1,500 (or less), sell the rear wheel, original (if rashed) bodywork and that left-exit TBR exhaust--and keep the 1,000cc "race motor" for yourself! That's my plan, anyway. I pick it up tomorrow. [just kidding] Ciao, JZH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laughable. Looks like Veefer is selling copies of his bodywork now out of China. 🙂 https://www.ebay.com/i/173862375487 Big bore kit info: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
