I have been riding bikes since 1963 and have built a few bikes in my time. I remember when those XS650's came out. BSA and Triumph bike were bedeviled by those new Japanese twins. A lot of those British bike owners started souping their bikes up because they did not want to be out run by the Jap bikes. I bought a basket case Yamaha XS-850LG.(Midnight Special) Not a true basket case, it was rolling stock with carbs off. 45 minutes after I got it home I had it running. Good bike but a bit weird as a three cylinder engine.
Now I rebuild boat motors. Want some serious HP for your Chevy? I can do that.
