Title: new 850 kits
Post by: Armen on November 08, 2013, 09:33:49 AM

Just traded some emails with Moto Israel in Germany. Seems they'll be doing a Nikasil 850 kit in the spring.
I've used their stuff on other boxers and it is very high quality. Pistons for the 90S were WAY lighter than stock.

What's included in the kit? I am presuming it will retrofit into a 650 ? :-?

Try:

That'll put you on a parts page. I assume they mean pistons (wrist pins, rings, etc) and cylinders.
I put a set of their R90 pistons in a bike this year. Something like 1/2 pound lighter than stock.
I have one of their oversized oil coolers on my R100 and a bunch of their other products. Stuff tends to be high quality but not cheap.
Fingers are crossed.
I'm partway through making a jig to hold R100 barrels to machine the pushrod tube holes to match an R65. But I'll still have to cut down the fins on one side (already shortened the barrels) and build up the hole with JB Weld.
If the kits aren't insano $, it might be less grief to buy them.

Cheers for the link.
They have a lot of parts, think i'll save the link!

I was looking into shortening a pair of R80 barrels to fit the 65, but i should get the project built first!!

Keep us informed of your R100 barrel project please.

Thanks
