The rest of his blog about building his own Moto2 bike with a "FFE" is also worth a read.

Honestly I have no idea. A friend sent me this link and that is as much as I know about it.

Yes Bruce Lind commissioned Chris to machine the cases. Bruce was canvassing support on the NATS and USGPRU websites. The 5KE Yamaha TZ has a bad habit of egging out the LH bearing you can fix them though.
If Jesus had ridden, he would have rode a two stroke

This one set of parts created nearly 2-55gal drums full of chips and a bunch of cutoff sections.


I'd like to see that. :ugeek:
