Looks like maybe some Kawi cylinders with a reed valve conversion sitting on the bench.  2 out of 3 heads as well.

Avoid the Noid.

Nice job.  I did a custom mount and similar style damper on my RD.

are the spares available for these kits ? OE rebuild kit is suitable ?

I'm not sure what interchanges or if all the aftermarket calipers are the same.

With that said, I have the aluminum aftermarket calipers on my bike and got aluminum pistons for them from 202Eric.  There was a difference in the pistons between an OEM caliper and the aftermarket ones.  Probably not much size wise but enough to make it a problem.

Sold. Now I can stop thinking about it.

I saw it got marked sold.  I was hoping someone on here got it but I figured we would have seen pics by now.

This bike would make a sweet little brother sitting next to a RZ.

Not mine.  Looks like an interesting bike and probably fun to ride.

Any chance you could share the drawings please?

See if this works.  If not just google Boll aero plans.

I just saw this article.  Looks like 2 strokes are safe for now.  Anyone know anything about this?

Edit, looks like it might be April fools according to the link.

That is really gorgeous! Have you run it? It's almost too pretty to get dirty.

There is a link above with it running.

whats the little dovetail inset in the base for?

Good eye.  The stand doubles as a static display and also for running.  There it a piece recessed in the bottom that comes out from static and gets stood upright so it can get clamped in a vise to run.  The dovetail piece conceals the hex wrench and 2 longer screws to change over.  There is 2 spring loaded ball detents that keep it held in place.

That's impressive; are you a machinist by trade?

Sorta, kinda, but not really. I have done some machining for employers but it was never my dedicated job.  I do have a mill and lathe in my garage.

That's cool, Did you build that from scratch?

I downloaded some plans but yes, made from scratch except for the screws although I did make the  brass hex nuts.

Thanks, while frustrating at times, it was a fun little project.

Let's see if this link works for it running

Little stay out of trouble project I made. Technically a 2 stroke.
