Howdy just caught this thread and am very intersted. Great project

. I have a SBK frame and was planning an attempt at an 800 insert, mainly because the 800 is legal in lightweight Superbike in CCS. This setup is illegal now due to recent rules that stipulate the engine must be available for purchase in the frame

. I am currently running a 748 in thunderbike. I rode a friends panta and loved the air cooled feel, light and nimble, excellent handling it made the track feel 8 feet wider. I figured this type of build would take me 3 years. I have slowly been accumulating parts as well. I no longer wish to race it but feel it will be excellent anyway. I cannot wait to see the outcome of your "winter" project. Best wishes. sincerely Brad
