Really stunning with the black frame...

BTW - even without any tuning, WOT demonstrates this is going to be one fast FJ1350  :bye2:

OK...  Here she is.  Few niggles to work through and dyno tune to get it to 100%, but she's running pretty well with the Keihins as shipped.  I plan to ride 500mi or so, then get to the dyno and dial her in.  The exhaust will blow small children over...  this thing pumps some air! 



And Randy's work is just top notch.  Look at that oil cooler and the brushed Akra...  sweet!



I have played a bit out of curiosity...  3rd gear, 70 mph, twist the wrist, you're on wheelie before your brain catches up.  I get the Kookaloo now!

Man, that is the ultimate show AND go.  I thought my '93 was pretty tidy until I saw this.

I have a spare 1219 motor that needs a rebuild and toying with a few ideas.

Was the engine water blasted and has it been clear coated?

Whose pistons are in it? (other than yours because you paid for them)

Your bike is my wish list in pictorial form, well done.

Thanks...  I also think it's coming out nicely and am delighted to have her back.  Even with the bent parts and stock motor, I always loved riding this one and the K13S really doesn't fill her shoes in many ways.  I've still got some project in front of me with tuning the FCRs and little items to close on...  but I'm riding her again (Mark O - when is mini WCR?)!

This bike has quite the history, so I don't even know who all has been involved.  Partial List:

Marc Rittner, Marsh, Klavdy (mostly f'ing it up   :lol:), Pat the Frameman, Dave at ABT Machining, RPM Randy, Rob at Evolution Suspension, and of course George Washington (lots of George in fact).

My thanks to all as well...   :hi:

Motor is 1349cc, big valve, ported and polished XJR head, Megacycle cams, Wiseco pistons, XJR rods, Keihin FCR39s, etc...  (Randy - feel free to add details).  It was stripped and bead blasted, then painted with VHT silver from Duracolor, with shiny bits stripped and polished (Randy's idea on the silver XJR look).

You may want to just send your spare motor stateside, Oakdale specifically, and let RPM take the lead.  I'm #3 in his list of big bore conversions and, for one, am delighted with the process and results.

That machine looks totally awesome. Excellent job!

Not custom.  It is the Akra race version for the XJR1300...  Marc Rittner sourced this from Europe.  It is quite cool and well made I believe.

RPM Randy is knocking it off I believe so we can have more like it for our domestic FJ crew.
