Collecting from John who built it 30 yrs ago.

John used to run it in the SuperBike mag Ultimate Street Bike drag races when it was a pure road bike, then he got carried away and created this longer and lower version with a full Harry Barlow tuned motor.
It’s never been run in this version, but was speced to produce 70 bhp.
It has air shifter
Lock up clutch
Aprillia rs125. Front end
Tz swingarm with lengthend chain adjuster
Firestorm Subframe
6 petal reed blocks and carbs off modern 250 MX bikes
Vapor clocks
Femsa ignition with custom made Cdi box
custom bodywork
Yoshimura rearsets
Harry Barlow pipes (no silencers)
But when he finished the build and dynoed it 20 yrs ago, it was running very lean and although he had put some 500 main jests in (as a guess) it has never been run since.
after spending a lot of time sitting in a shed he had the crank seals replaced 3 yrs ago and vapour blasted the carbs with the plan of decommissioning it, but then the project stalled again and hence he has tasked with getting it running and to run it down the 1/4 mile the best it can do.
as it stands, there is no wiring harness, almost everything is corroded (the roof blew off the shed at some point), there Are bits missing and seized, and there are no instructions!.
so my plan is
1) to get the wiring sorted and get it running
2) sort the brakes and Clutch so they work
3) then take it to a dyne to make sure it is jetted safe.
4) clean up and paint various parts
5) take it to a drag strip and see what it does in anger
6) based on the drag tests, then I will start looking at how to improve it (remove weight, programmable ignition etc)
