So as it started I saw an Orange/Gold (Amber Whiskey if you're pedantic), 1 owner (it was a lady owner, so I guess its a girls bike!!) twin cam SG with 12k km up for a good price. Bit of haggling I got it cheaper still. It had the Books, 2x fobs, cover, bag liners and useless HD little tool kit thingo  

I would say SE tappets due to the easiness & availability or there was some in the shop already. 

Thanks for sharing Nathan.

Bottom end was case machining, change of flywheel/crank and fit timken bearings to where they needed to go. 

Thanks Nath it’s always interesting to hear about bottom end work done as not overly common here but agree it’s the right foundation to build a big cube engine around. 

Nath I reckon that cam is a bit short for the comp mate, sure the peak numbers are decent but the torque falls off a cliff, I've spoken to hoody and lushy about cams and comp as I was in the same sort of boat, I had the 590ps2 at 10.5, went to the 263 and the engine just runs better, I reckon you would find the 625 suits your 10.5 better, just an observation mate, not being critical.

Its from my building track car days. You can have 400+hp but if you dont have the drive line to back it up & stopping ability, youre only setting yourself up for failure. Brakes are the standard calipers w/new rotors and better pads. Probably change to Galfer rotors once these are cactus.
