That is a very nice sight. I have been going to it for about five or so years now. There is a lot of good info on there but also a lot of out of date info. Some of the links have been out of date and inactive even back then. The so called big bore kits were never available, because there was no one that could mass produce a cylinder sleeve for them and bore out the cylinders for the sleeves. The largest that stock sleeves can be bored to is 1400cc and I still can have those kits made for me. That is what is going in mine. The cams are also no longer made by Mega Cycle. I have custom cams made still. The Mega Cycle cams were so tall that people were bending valves all the time and they were discontinued quite quickly. I bought my first 1300 IN 1979 and I was hooked from the day I bought it. There is no sound like a 1300 with a 6-1 pipe. I still have a brand new D&G pipe waiting to be put on mine. My first D&G pipe has already completely disintegrated. The bike did have some teething problems at the beginning and I have had it apart numerous times just to play. I will be working on mine again, since now I am almost finished with my GPz1150 project. I will be installing fuel injection on mine when it goes back together. Here is a link to my project that I started a couple years ago but quit working on when I started the GPz1150.

I will be making some major changes. Not just to the engine but to the front end. One of which is, repaceing the leading axle fork with a ZN1200 front end. This will make it handle much better.
