.In 1996, Allan built his first '5 cylinder' triple, using a KH250, with 2 additional cyclinders, to create a 415cc 'special', like no other. He has since gone on to produce a number of other 'specials' based on the Kwakka triple range - my favourite being a 750/3, that had 1 additional cyclinder added to produce a 1000/4 'triple'
- sold to a Japanese collector.The bike below is a Z900-based V8. This is an amazing rig, constructed almost entirely of second-hand and donated bits......the camchain is a single-run, over 5' long
, the cams in the rear head run backwards......can you imagine setting the cam timing for this baby 
.The blocks are perfectly in line - not offset as per a normal V8 - to do this, he machined his own liners, then off-set the bores, and fitted Z650 pistons.....this means that the conrods are side-by-side, however due to the offset bores, the barrels can be perfectly aligned......the guy is an absolute genius.
The last photo is a Z1300-based V12 - this bike has also been since completed
the 'quoted' hp in the article was *approx* 130......he reckons with a bit of work on exhausts and 2 banks of carbies, he could easy pull 145.
( this is the V8 I am referring to...).
