The T-3 is a great bike, in my opinion you get a lot of bang for the buck.
Just like our beloved loopframes, the T-3 came with chrome plated cylinders, so
any bike with factory cylinders will most likely need new ones. The 850
motors have a smaller cylinder spigot opening in the block, which means you either
bore out the block to accept the 1000cc spigot or either turn down the spigot
to fit. The 850 motors are really good, well balanced motors, personally I
don't see much to be gained by putting 1000cc kit on it. A less restrictive
exhaust system, port match the heads to a pair of 36mm Mikuni's & maybe a cam & it
will run as strong as most 1000cc Guzzis.
