Thanks Brian,
Yes I just had a good look at their site and will be ordering a few bits. just bent an inlet valve !!!
I used to give my race motors 4 1/2 thou but did 3 on the cafe. Run in, wots that ? 500 miles tops. LOL.
I have a set of forged 10.5:1 in at moment and another +20 set as spares. JB brand from the US with an offset pin, but haven't been able to find any more.
You are right in that a std motor is good for what they are made for but I tend to ride a little harder than most classic riders and tend to soop up anything I get my hands on (even this old nerd box). I know most will say I'm a fool, but I have fun.
Oh, beer o'clock
Cheers
