Just a historic question
Someone must have been in the 180SS tuning business?

Vader pointed this out to me today. Replica though and I don't know any history.

If a SS180 owner wanted to get crazy on their cylinder, Scooter Mercato has a 10th over and can get a 14th over. The 10th would make it 193cc and the 14th would make it 202cc. It still won't be a GH because some serious tuning would have to be done as well but the extra displacement would be nice.

Can you tell me the history of this model? |
