The owner is a member of the other site. That's where I got this pic...he has others posted in his build thread. Was built very well by BTR Moto.

It's well known ethanol raises compression, but it's not the compression we speak of when we talk about race fuels. :lmao: I didn't realize I wrote "compression". Doh! I meant octane :oops: but just maybe :roll: E85 is pure grain Ethanol with an Octane of around 116 mixed with 15% (roughl...

Yes exactly. Not that I or anyone else is gonna feel a difference on the bike. I figure dumping the steel sleeve puts a CR500 powerplant another decade ahead of the fourstrokes in power : weight ratio.

But that's expecting to have a problem isn't it? A plated bore could mitigate alot of accidents that happen altogether as well. But I understand, if you were to mess up so bad you did ruin a jug you're not riding again for $200.
