Hey friends,

Some background: I have a 79' 750K which has a hole in the cylinder block (sawed through by the cam chain). Otherwise, the bike is in good shape and runs surprisingly well aside from the oil leak and cam chain rattle.

I've ordered a new block on eBay, and am considering boring it out and using a Wiesco kit to get more power/better compression while I have the top end apart anyway.

Can anyone give me a definitive list of parts that I would need to swap/upgrade to make a big bore kit work on my K? I already plan on replacing the gaskets, pistons and rings (obviously), and cam chain. Do I need a different or modded cylinder head? Different cams?

I've already done some searching through the forums and haven't been able to find out what has actually worked. Any help would be great!!
