Hi Andy,

Unless your doing a full strip on your bike I wouldn't go for a donor (other) engine. Drop your 400 lump out and get a big bore kit for it :smt003

Least amount of work and a good extra oomph into the bargain.

I'm going to be sending a complete H bottom end over soon with head,cams and barrels (barrels need honed , re-bored or new sleeve for '#1) so look out for it on FeeBay, if you want to do a repair/rebuild on your own motor.
