Tiny,

The sidecar racing looks like fun, but the short sleeves and jeans on pavement looks kind of dangerous even at relatively slow speeds! HA!HA!

If you consider destroking the engine, all of the numbers will change for the exhaust.  RPMS will go up a bunch, diameter will change a little and length will change for both the head pipe and the meg. 

Good luck

Swiss

Tiny your like my fav, person in the world. a man every true hot rodder should know. MR, Burt munro ever since i was a kid, i enjoyed hearing and reading storys about good old Burt, and how he took his indain to be the worlds fastest indain. lol
not only a good movie i have every book about him and try to get every bit of info off the net about mr. Burt munro. i dont know if he had inspired you, But he inspired me to build MY 1974 honda CB125S into something no one else haves.
IM not searching for an LSR, My project is being build for one thing, and thats I want a vintage road race replica, to ride to the local bike nights, and maybe if i get it dialed in right and running strong, be able to hit the ton on it. a long dream of taking a bike that couldnt get very much over 50 mph, to double its speed and not kill my slef when trying so. keep up the good work, i been trying to keep up to your projects and i have learned some stuff along the way of hot rodding small honda's.

Yeah, progress is happening,although I had to drive a 700 mile round trip to get some tyres for it (I 'spose I could have waited, but my daughters 21st b/day party was on @ the same place)
NOW we'll have some progress, ride height, swing arm, gearing choices, seating position sorting is on the "to do " list.
Nearly have the CDI $'s saved, so that will be another job soon.
Theres a heap more frame pics in my photobucket, mainly to show the DLRA scrutineer and get the ok to continue, its much the same as the previous pics I've posted though, just a few gussetts and cross members added.
I spent 2 weekends bashing an old alloy road sign into an air deflector / carb cover that sits under the frame backbone(s), but thers no pics of that yet.

More progress,,,,and a decision was made,,,I have a little more ca$h saved, but not enough, as usual, so I decided, to keep progress happening, I'd contact the place I emailed 13 months back, to see if the CDI had gone up in price,,well, it had GONE DOWN !
I had planned on purchasing the CDI pickup, and black box, and getting the rev limiter and coil later, and using the spare $'s to get a mandrel bend for the header pipe, and a Davies Craig elec booster pump.
The best news was this,
http://www.pazon.com/ignition-system/smart-fire-crank-trig-single-4-stroke
CDI, coil AND rev limiter all for $530 Oz $'s (not the Boyer Bransden I had planned on using)

I've also finished the swing arm and I'm ready to machine up some rear axle spacers, and a sprocket spacer / adaptor / extra bearing carrier.

I hope it ends up more reliable than my 41 y/o Harley, lol, which broke down IN THE SHED today ! (spat out a front primary pulley bolt, which then had an argument with the belt guard mounting bolt, and sounded MUCH worse than it was (looks),,,,another job to add to the never ending list of " to do's "
