Title: ascot vt500 with vlx600 pistons
Post by: gravelordsmc on May 30, 2017, 12:41:42 pm

ok so anyways i bored up my vt500 to fit the vlx600 pistons and that works... what i would like to know is this..
does anyone think the vlx600 cylinder head will fit this bike. they seem to match up and the 600 was modeled after the ascot vt 500

I believe you are in uncharted territory.

It will be interesting to hear what you learn.

Good luck
J.

do you know anyone who has tried this? i've see guys bore their ascots up to 591 cc in their VTs and just use bigger sleeves, cams and so on... this project will take some time and machining some valves or whatever i may come across but i think this will be worth it in the long run
