Thank you for the substantial support, Rainerio!
Nice to see that all those hours in the workshop and editing videos have had some value to you, viewers! Also warms my heart when somebody even is willing to contribute with their hard earned cash! Thank you! No way I can quit now! :)

Thanks, Steve!
I'm afraid my shelf of offerings would have taken over the workshop, so I have let it go to the bin. [emoji4]

You can send a bottle of Slivovitz to:
Mats Clementz
Ärenprisvägen 6
241 64 Harlösa
Sweden

It may not promote the project, but ease the depression when it goes south!

Yes. I'm kidding!

A small donation made.

If you check with your customs if a plastic bottle with 0.5L of Šljivovica will pass controls I'd be more than glad to send you some...

Over here we say that Šljivovica gives you four wheel drive...in case of your bike It may not give it four wheel drive but if you have 2,5 dcl cca 15 mins before the race I guarantee you, you will not notice if something breaks in the engine and you will not notice if you crash... :D

Thank you, so much, Makazica! Just to make sure your contribution has landed well: Did you use PayPal, GoFundMe or bank account?

I'm quite positive Slivovice will grow hair on your chest (too!) distort your vision and act as a perfect detergent for motor parts. A distant relation there to grappa. :cool:

I visited my current supplier in CZ earlier this week, but he was also out of stock...

The drawings of the steel parts (counter balancer shaft, primary/secondary spur gears) are sent to the machinist and soon enough also the alu parts.

Now all 3D models are sent for manufacturing. So now I have been stripping the crank cases for all special parts that will be moved over to the "new" set of cases.

The needles in the big end bearing put dents in the crank pin! Ouch!

Many thanks, Andy! I feel that this is it. I will do this final big effort in getting this monster to work!

Good idea.

I have idea that others are probably thinking. Would it be possible to fund and make more than just one? I for one would gladly buy for my engine that sitting in the pieces. Would be awesome for supermoto/tarmac riding. More comfortable for distance riding. I have gut feeling that this time it will work flawlessly.

Amazing build Dr_C! Now, if you could only fit this in a standard FS650 frame I'd buy one. One could only dream…

In the meantime I have overhauled a BSA A10 gearbox for my Hedlund Café racer build. Extreemely satisfying to put this 65 year old bugger together with fresh bushings/bearings and glass blasted casings!

Just picked up the steel stuff! The sprockets are hardened. Now it's time to suck up to the alu machinist...
