Engines - Time to get back to Work!



My Red SL90 project has been dormant for a little while thanks to other time demands  I've been gathering up little bits and pieces to make sure that I can assemble the complete bike in "one shot".  I've had the good fortune of having duplicates of almost all of the critical parts (and in some cases, triplicates).  I will need to do some engine work and thanks to two helpful SL90 owners, I have the basic plan for "hopping up" the red bike's engine and another donor engine to use.  The plan is to port the head, use DrATV's hotter cam, new valves and bore out the cylinder to install a larger piston.  



Additionally, I have another gas tank to restore for one or the other of my two SL90's.

Once that's done, I plan on selling/trading off my extra SL90 parts to clear out my garage!!
