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 :lol: - 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 :lol: - 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 :lol:

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 .

The man obviously had a lot of patience and knows how to think outside the box. The first thing I thought of was how painful it would be trying to true up the crank.

You can see in one of the close ups of the headers where he has welded the crankcases.
