Look fantastic. I have 130 rear tyres fitted on three bikes, they handle as good/bad as a std bike.
Two things I do though are off-set the rear shock top mount so its still upright after moving engine across, and fit Cosa rim with 100/90 tyre on front.

Re: polini longstroke ?
Can do either way, but I machined casing so I could run wider inlet port.

Re: polini longstroke ?
I put a 60mm P2 crank in my Malossi 166. Now 175cc
3mm longer stroke and 5mm longer rod. Used a 1/4ins pack plate (6.35mm).
Used it for a few years as a mile eater rally going machine, engine is currently in my scootercrosser.

Re: Long Conrods
Im running a 30TMX with CamLam powerjet, (the std Mikuni one didn't work), Its a lot better than the 32 flat slide Delly. Exhaust and gearing go hand in hand. On one off engines I get PM to make me a pipe to suit. Gearing on PTS1 is T5 box with 37t 4th and currently 21/68 primary, but now bottom end...

Re: Motorcycles
Got new job so doing 400 miles a week commuting, 380 of that is motorway/duel carriageway. Used the Rally and a T5 a few times, but would end up killing me or it. Bought a Bandit 600, have never ridden a bike before. Just fitted a gear change indicator, never had 6 to play with and was forgetting wh...

Ideally, bike on dyno, optimize, power run, split casings, change crank, repeat.
Time consuming.
Wether or not the market is there for top spec reed 210/220s is difficult to say.

Full circle webs from Taffspeed, rod from MB, crank pin made from a Jack Knight Mini idler gear pin, rod shims are from Mini idler gear, I made the web packers.

Re: Long Conrods
I'd go 60, wish I had with the TS.
P2 crank is 10mm narrower than T5 so you will have to make a longer pin.

Re: Our latest spec reed-valve crankshaft - (Malossi 221cc)
It was just an idea as we were building engines at work with lighter and lighter flywheel/clutch assemblies and heavier front pulleys. This is car engines btw. I was fully aware of the clutch problems associated with HP4/1kg flywheels on P Range/T5 engines. If the clutch is heavier than the flywheel...
