Welcome, cool bike. Not that many ELR's around even over here.

Interesting engine build, 1385cc is a bit of a odd size.

80mm = 1327cc and 82mm = 1393cc, but 1385cc = 81.75mm, so I have to ask what make are the pistons?

What size RS flat slides are you running? 36 or 38?

I just came across a old performance parts catalog from 1985 that listed a Wiseco kit at 1385cc, but it was 82mm. The following year that was dropped to reflect a actual size of 1393cc.
