i did remove it, i was asked to post it for someone, im sure he thought he was doing a good thing by showing us a picture of the new GXII HO, not realizeing it was not the final production. i also did not. although i am glad to hear that was not it, that one was a little fugly......lol

That's basically what's its gonna look like just with no 3 needle carb

Im not sure if you saw the original head design, before the pic that was posted, but the font was horrendous. I Redid the solidworks file he sent me with different lettering. Also, I advised Simon to change the profile and the angle of the holes that are drilled from underneath to lighten it. I didn't see it mounted, but I'm hoping that it'll be easier to tighten and loosen the mount screws. Simon did the cutout on the sides and above the exhaust, and I had suggested something slightly different. Still, the end result is truly a winner. still waiting to see the final porting and crank. I'm stoked about this motor! Going to have to use all the self restraint I have to send the few samples I'm getting to the drivers.

Anyways, if all works out, we may have pics from team drivers online, perhaps this time next week. If we can post them, I will. They will be here or on our usa website.

Also, I've got pricing set for the engines. As of Monday, Feb 3rd, 2011, we will be taking preorders for the GXII-5R HO. dealers and team members placing preorders will receive a $10 discount.

Head is a bit different.

ya, the newer head looks alot better than the pic posted earlier.

sorry cant really tell the difference on my cell phone

I like the idea of the head button containing 2 cooling fins. some good thinking going on there.

yes sir...and the whole motor is just a tad bit shorter right?.......that means lower center of gravity

motor is a lot shorter. This means lower COG and less heatsink damage. You know we ALL go rubber up sooner or later!


Anyways, some good news! I'm talking with the head guy in Taiwan as I write this. He's not at the factory at the moment, but he's having some of his guys take pictures of the final revision. Assuming I get them "today or tomorrow" I will be able to post them here and on www.go-engine-usa.com

Same thing the Picco and the new Xceed motors.

cool, little sooner than you thought, rubber up saves on tire wear

Well, if you run VP tires, you dont have to do that! (haha... had to plug MY sponsor)
