Make that 3 guys who like 6 cylinders with 6 carbs
If you are tired of working on six carbs, why stop there? Next step could be to convert the head into a 2-valve head. After that, change to one single cam with rocker arms and finally, why not installing a big V-Twin, or even better, a large single into that CBX frame, together with an automatic transmission?

Another person Aaron knows has done Moto GP engine work. I will talk to him also.
If they say this cant be done and for a reasonable price.........I will admit to it.......til then this is an open item........ at least ......for me.
Mike,
Have you been down to see either of these guys since you wrote this in January? Just wondering...
