Some of you may know of this build from before, I just stumbled across it on a XS650 forum I spend some time on.

An impressive build, I'd say!

Totally mental! Sidecar racing blows my mind, I have a hard time understanding the design and dynamic of the vehicles, then you throw in the movement of the monkey and everything has just gone out the window.

Interesting bit about pinning the sleeves on Chinese cylinders. Might mean they are worth using.

That's a lot of engineering (and late nights in the shop)!

Sleeves turning in the Chinese cylinders is one thing, but porosity of the liner and out of round or spec bores is a bigger problem. Getting them bored to the next size doesnt always work either
