New member here, haven't got a chance to introduce myself yet as I found this site looking for pics of Lennies old bike.
I was at the Australian Motogp last weekend and stumbled (literally) on what I thought was Lennies old bike from what i've read about it.

The new owner knew it was modified but didn't know by who. I had a bit of a look over it, found a fuel pressure regulator of a K series and the tubes welded through the tank so I think it is the real deal. I didn't get a chance to hear it running.

Now I better go introduce myself.

Dave.

Sure is my old bike. I hope to buy it back one day. :D

Did the new owner look happy.

Yep he was very happy with the bike. We talked bikes for a few hours. When I asked where the seat was he said it was in his tent. He didn't want it to get wet as it had a sheepskin cover.
What cams did you fit and what sort of power improvement did it give Lennie?

South_Oz,

I had cams reground by a guy in Sydney and after fitting I advanced 9 degrees for good results.

The cams were ground for midrange again and I can't remember the exact numbers for the improvements.

people say so, but in my opinion that hole is to keep the electronics cool under the tank.
