I did some trolling and found this picture on Storz Performance site. The give away is the removable cap that holds the oil seal. GCB Ceriani.

Nice pickup Flattop, see if you can still order a pair? I'll take two sets if you can! Yes Chris I think you did well to find the forks you have. Probably the best performing of the lot. Lou

I wrote earlier that I thought I had some old photos of the Alchemy, in that case they would have been from Assen, probably 1991. I have not found them, so I might have mistaken. But I found these from Assen that year instead! Anyone knows what it is? No doubt from NZ... Looks like a stock 888 swingarm, but the frame and rear suspension? I probably knew back then, but the memory is not what it used to be.

It may be the 851 the late Robert Holden raced called “fast & fragile “. Had a carbon frame as well. Dallas rankine May have been behind it. Boucher.

Heads are shimmed, as these are Pantah 800ss heads the drain holes between the heads and cylinders don’t line up. So they are blocked and the oil drain back to the cases through braided lines. Front cylinder head oil return will be through exhaust rocker cover like TT1/F1 and rear will be on outside of head to below oil level. Boucher.

Hey Chris, I think people get left speechless with your work! The heads look great! The other possibility is that I am one of the few people left on the Forum! C'mon guys get with it!! Lou

Well folks what else was there to do on a wet Saturday afternoon than check the squish on a set of 88mm hi comp pistoni’s. This was a monumental occasion as it was the first time all components were fitted together. Squish with no cylinder base gasket was 0.75mm. So plenty of room to play with gaskets to get to the desired 1.00mm. Boucher.
