[net.cycle] Building Road Racing Thumpers

jimt@dalcs.UUCP (James A. Theriault) (01/24/85)

     	Though the main topic of conversation seems to be on cold weather 
riding, some of us require the winter to prepare for the spring.  In particular 
preparing road race machinery for the comming season.  

	Plans for the coming season, include the revitalization of a Honda 
FT500.  That's right, people actually race them.  Does anyone else have any
experience road racing these?

	One problem I have run across is a lack of information on the machine.
Does anyone have any information as to retailers selling such items as high
compression pistons, cams, and other such goodies?

	Either reply directly to me or post the information on the network.
Others may be interested.
