he knocked up a couple of 1000cc 4-cyl H2's mate - reckoned they were a much better bike to ride than the 750/3

- the crankpins were spaced at 90deg, firing order 1-2-4-3. Really really smooth to ride according to the bike mags who tested the first one built.

nothing like that mate - the 350 twin was a rotary disc-valve motor. The H1 is a piston-port motor......he built the 5-cyl motor up the same way as every other multi. Cut'n'shut a couple of sets of crankcases, pressed up his own cranks - and basically that is it

- well its a bit more of course - one of the first 5-cyl bikes was built with 5 sets of points !! FFS imagine doing the timing on that bastard
Very very clever bastard. I remember the very first article in Classic Mechanics about this bloke, back in the early 90's......nobody could believe what he was building in his garden shed .
