Long time no see peeps! it's been a few months tanks to life, moving, new job, new home shop, the works. Now its time to start the fun again! Recently I finished rebuilding a Sprint ST and in the process I ended up with an extra almost good engine. I'll get some pics of the "finished" bike later but man is she fun! Fell in love with the triple engine with my Street Triple and the Sprint really is just her bigger more ticket prone sister lol. So the rough goal of this project will be the following:
1: 200(ish)hp
2: Semi streetable, I dont want a garage or trackday queen
3: Low(ish) cost, thankfully I do have my own mill so custom parts are a must
4: Longevity is cool but fun is cooler
This is ultimately my extra engine so I want to have fun with it over just building it for practicality, if ya'll have ideas or recommendations please let me know! I am leaning toward a fleabay turbo build, have a friend that can easily weld a custom airbox and I have enough machining skills to fake my way through any custom work. I am not opposed to porting, polishing, making some custom pistons, etc, basically the world is my oyster as long as I can make it myself, lets have some fun!!! (PS if anyone here is in the Palm Coast Fl area I am down to race when she is done )
