Talking Black Magic, LSK, Silver Arrow

Huu raaa..

I can't tell you how many gallons are on my black magic. I stopped counting. I only clean this puppy, throw fuel at it, watch the temps, don't push her really hard and she keeps coming back for more.

I agree. It seems like the fit and finish of the black magic was really nice.

I don't want to make waves, but, maybe this was because of the passed away member of the Rossi business.

yes.. That puppy was a pretty penny back in the day and maybe it would still pull 5 bills, but, I feel it took longer to break in 2 times as long as a normal engine. But, I also feel it lasts about 3 times as long.

My LSK is back in service after the rear bearing started to go bad. Engine was making some crazy rattling noise. Glad I caught it within seconds of it happening. Bearing kinda pricy though. $28.00 + shipping..

Anyway... Man I would like to see a Black Magic X1 or Black Magic II. I don't mean a rebadged Mamba or Cobra (Althought, isn't the Cobra based off the Black magic in a since), but, a better Black Magic. Stronger Connecting rod, same fit/finish. Ceramic bearings, epoxy filled crank, so extra porting to give this puppy better fuel mileage. (Keep the bottom end and keep the ceramic coating)

Again. Bring back that cool head with some machining mods and a really cool
anodize paint job.
