    Welp I'm done

    Just got the 500 back together, took it for a test ride and it quit, in an unfriendly way. So no 500 for TF

    Man, sorry - very sorry to hear that Billy. Must have lost the top or bottom end? I'm no way near out of the woods either.....

    It was a crapshoot anyway... I just expected it to last a little longer I put a topend together I had laying around here that had a cracked sleeve in the bridge of the exhaust port, and put a new piston kit in it (Didn't bore it, didn't have enough time. Ended up with about .005 clearance, which wasn't good but was tolerable I thought. I figured the exhaust port was to wide, but I beveled and chamfered the edges really good and thought it would be good, evidently not.

    Aint that the truth. I overheated it at the last FT race a few weekends ago, determined it was to too small of exhaust pipe stinger tube diameter. I ordered larger tube, bent that up, welded it in, modded the silencer to fit and use it, all that crap. Dug around and did the work I needed to fit this old other cylinder on there, ordered gaskets, had to mod my FRAME to fit the quick change clutch cover be cause my old one was cracked to bad from the brake pedal hitting it, on and on and on and on and now its dead. Damn thing.
