Unicorn II motor?

There are alot of changes and efforts that Cannondale made to make better quads that are unknown or very rare.Lots that nobody can know effects of because obviously we arent fortune tellers.I cant say for sure but I think I have found a Unicorn II motor!Warren 557 brought his late 03 moto over for some tuning.This thing is well used and raced A class all signs of very high hard hours are there.Was Cannondale closer than ever to perfection in end?I think so.Finds:
SSM Case=Has the radioused corners,No motor mount update.If this case didnt crack with use he gives it by now I am a believer in that one.Also his engine cradle has never cracked.Leads me to believe the radioused corners or something else worked.
Internals=Has stud update original,possibly balanced crank AND a balanced (matched)flywheel.
Frame=not too uncommon but has a welded bung where headlight mounting tabs used to be.
This quad was delivered after factory closing but before bankruptcy.ser#5b6ed31373b000006
Just think 2 full years of racing nothing done to motor and just 1 crack in swingarm.What more could you ask for?He is going to go for more power now with it.But really the quad has paid itself off.From now on everything has got to be considered a bonus.We will never really know for sure what the magic combination is and quest for more power will never end.But this one had it right from factory.
