Re: Cams stg1

Tony, I am able to facilitate the recutting/reseating O/S valves INL = +1mm and EXH = +0.5mm :D
Who is making the O/S valves if you do not mind me asking?
In answer to Cybercarl's posting, the info regarding valve timing specification on the Superhawk site is correct :)

Re: Cams stg1

HRC and Moriwaki only made one profile of Hi-Comp piston. People who refer to ST2 pistons generally mean JE, Wiseco etc whose pistons are above 11:. You can use 11:1 piston with ST1 & ST2 cams (if you can find any ST2s). However, to be sure whenever you use Hi-Comp pistons with Hi-lift cams alwa...

Re: Cams stg1

Hi Carl. Thank you for your kind wishes and I am having a great time with family here in AU :D although it is pretty hot some days as you will have seen on the UK news.

Re: Cams stg1

Hi Kev. I have thought about doing this as I already do performance billet camshaft kits complete with Valve spring kit for SP1/2. The problem is that they are very expensive to produce in small batches and represent a big capital investment on my part. The SP kits retail at £1650.00 GBP in the UK b...

Re: 6mm rear shock spacer

A 6mm lift is a high as the VTR wants to remain stable. Alternitively if you have an adjustable aftermarket damper you can increase the shock length "centre eye to centre eye" from 247mm to 250mm and as the rising ratio of the linkage is effectively 2:1 the effect of quicker turning will b...

Re: MORIWAKI UK IMPORTER

Hi Guys. Since the cost was £575.00 and I am unsure if that was ever the UK price and when but in the last 2+ years the GP£ has fallen against the Yen dramatically.
