Honda VTR SP1 Engine Help Please...

Evening all.

I've acquired an SP1 V-Twin engine for use in my trike. It was going to be an Aprilia RSVR engine, but I couldn't refuse the Honda lump at the price offered.

It hasn't arrived yet, so I'm just going by pics of the internet - anyone have any idea what it is that's bridging between the two cylinders?

Thermostat housing?

Thermostat housing by the look of it

There were no replies when I answered, honest!

Yup... that makes sense! I usually have to follow the hoses to identify everything, so sometimes struggle when presented with a bare engine!



Cheers!

Great engines, I've loads of bits for them too. Lovely gearcam whine on them.
