Now I'm circling back with a Diavel project bike. (broken crank). Also, I'm on the other side of the pond, and a pensioner in Florida. I'd interested in hearing from anyone that has had a 1200 apart for any words of wisdom. Thanks for adding me to this esteemed group.
Welcome and good luck with project, major motor surgery! Lots of top techs on here. Might be cheaper to get a s/h engine or bottom end tho.
Found a 1200 Monster motor ($1100), and I'll pull the crank from it. S/h motors are running $2800, and a new crank about $3000. Since my time is very "cheap".....
Hiya I used to live a couple of hours from you in St Augustine. Spent many happy hours at Silver Springs. Used to shoot at Palm Coast and New Smyrna ranges, really miss it. Good luck with your project.
