Well I have to say work was unfun however I had the chance to meet John Ritter during my Tennessee tour and boy what a treat. I returned home today with treats in my mailbox, new ignition from Treatland . Items arrived quickly.

I've not met the illustrious Mr Ritter, but I have dealt with Treatland. Great outfit, aren't they?

I agree, they processed the order and got it out the door. Thanks again for the tip Wade.

Today was a good day for the progress of my R5 project. Mr. Ritter has performed his work on my RD400 cylinders and heads, I really enjoy seeing quality workmanship, and what a delight. Wossner pistons and some Ritter work. Just need more money  :bang:

well all I can say it has been hella good week, and the cherry on top is the 400 crankshaft that John Ritter rebuilt, arriving at the house today.
If you need crank work jump in quick, he is lining up work now.  Hard not to be excited about quality workmanship :olaf: :metal:

I could not leave well enough alone, I sent the rd400 cylinders and pistons and heads back to John for more aggressive port work. I received Carbs today, I went with Keihin PWK 35's. Now it's time to clean off a bench and organize to start the reassembly of the engine.

More aggressive port work and 35s? Better order a longer swingarm.

Wade, that takes all the fun out of it :celebrate: can you say mouse trap? LOL. I agree, This engine may find its way into my RD with ninja suspension swap, the swing arm is longer on that setup. swap the 350 engine to the R5 project. I am having fun with the possibilities. :righteous:
