In the early 90's I started collecting and building vintage Japanese superbikes as a hobby. I was a young teen at the time so it was rather unusual for a person of my age to take an interest in these older bikes and not get into modern sportbikes. There was something about them that just fascinated me. The styling, simplicity, and vintage appeal that comes with these pieces of motorcycle history. My first real bike was a Mid 70's Honda CB750F super sport. I was 16 at the time and bought the bike for a mere 100 dollars sitting under a tree. It had been equipped with 4 into 1 exhaust, K&N filters, jetting, and a Norris cam. Within a week I was riding this beast and was hooked for life. Like most I started out on dirt bikes but the street was where I really wanted to be. Within 6 months I had clip-on bars, rear sets, solo seat, and other mods. This established the design parameters that have continued to this day, vintage roadracer with lights! I began accumulating all of the air cooled four cylinders I could get my hands on. On my quest to get more horsepower I soon realized how little was still available as far as high performance engine components. You can still get just about everything for CB750's, KZ1000's and such but the smaller displacement bikes were just out of the question. This led me to develop my own components. In 1996 at the age of 19 I got a job at a motorcycle machine shop. This marked the point at which I was able to make my ideas become reality and started building my skills at porting, machining, and high performance engine design. In 2000 I began working for an automotive machine shop as a cylinder head technitian and continue to work there to this day. In the past few years I have been able to develop valve train components that were not available on the market. These parts are limited and were produced just for my own projects. I have made some of these available online and hope to bring others to market for the rest of the world to enjoy as time allows. I also stock many automotive products to help fund the research and development that goes in to making these products available.
On my spare time I do side work for fellow vintage enthusiasts. Due to a tight schedule I have limited my services to cylinder and cylinder head related modifications. Work includes porting, custom built valves, and other misc. tricks. My goal has been to take 2 valve technology to it's full potential. I am currently working on a big valve, downdraft, straight port head for the CB500/550 SOHC Honda. I would like to make a kit available but so far only the prototype is under development. I enjoy building engines for which there are no aftermarket parts available, that is true satisfaction. Of course cams are still available for just about everything from Megacylce, for which my shop is an authorized dealer. Look for new valve train products in the coming months....or if you need services, advise, or just want to chat about these wonderful machines feel free to contact me.
