I bought the engine as a basic 750cc over eight years ago.

Since then I have rebuilt the bottom end with billet components and starting honing what a 750cc can really do. Since then I detuned her a little for reliability as the 750cc, for four years, was the only bike used for the 600+ mile a week commute. Then early this year I bought another Curvy 650 so the 750cc could get a good service (completely stripped, engine, chassis, and all components fully inspected) to be rebuilt as a 800cc.

Its something id love to do. Play with an engine. What id love to do is make a big bang 600. Something that sounds different...

I've got a spare SV engine if you fancy tuning it for me.

Bought a non-runner (well a runner that had low compression in the front cylinder) for 50quid, turned out to be a small amount of water had got into the barrel and rusted it[1], clogging the rings up. Then a set of barrels and pistons off that ebay for 20quid and I've got an entire engine that should work if I ever properly put it together!
