Could probably pick up a used 2005 engine here in Australia for that sort of money. Ponters was referring to a new engine. Pretty sure that's what he was asking about.

Interesting you should say that, where do you think you'd draw the line if you did it all again? +20-30bhp to stock and stop?

In 09 I had 220 that was not bad, 186ftlb torque not quite strong enough
I think 240hp & 200ftlb would be nice, but for my riding style 3k to 4k needs to have strong torque too.

Kinda thinking would be a waste of $ buying new when ya gunna pull it down and replace so much ?

Yep 500hp means all new rotating/reciprocating parts - buy a complete bike a couple of years old, take the engine out and ship the rest to Honest TC for redistribution. Your welcome.

 

[ponters]

yeah, i reckon you are all correct. trirocket, those numbers are about where mine is at and perfect is the best way to describe it.

Bubz you're correct it is pointless buying new. different in the car world that I'm used to.

Hunt, i'll be chatting to him about it next week.

Sanity has prevailed .. on this Forum that's got to be a first I reckon.

Well I have went completely blank but he's out of Illinois and he wrecked before Maggie Valley North Carolina.
I believe he was in Canada at the time of the wreck. I know he had Carpenter racing build his engine he told me he had over $10,000 in the motor

Hey ponters ole mate...
Lets just swap engines and ECU's

Buy a new roadster, remove the engine then send the rest up to my place. I'll find a use for it.
