no problem. we are all here to help each other out Thanks. It is a blast to ride. I went with the ratty look cus the last two bikes i did were all shiny and for the most part stock looking. I think Im going to have to get a video up or something.

only good for bikes with minimal electronics and kick start only. Its pretty much like running a battery-less/capacitor set up but with out the draw backs of them.

Its actually strapped to the under side of the seat, right next to the solid state voltage regulator and rectifier. The battery I'm running is about the size of a cigaret box. They are like 7 bucks and can be found on ebay...

Having ridden the bike with and with out the big bore kit, I have to say it made a world of difference. Although keep in mind I did all the mods together so it isnt just one mod but all of others in conjunction with each other. I also did a bunch of calculations on speed vs rpm vs hp and tq from...

cool cool. I had an idea that it was leaning toward that way. since there was a request off me "puttering" around on it. Different forums different strokes... Im also in to toyotas, small block chevys, and firearms... and ive noticed there are different type of ppl on different type of forums...

Thanks a bunch you guys. This was the first bike that I ever worked on and I was really happy with the way it turned out. I dont know if its good enough to make it in to bike of the month but if it did that would be sweet

Let me know if you are looking for a custom fiberglass cafe seat. I specialize in "one off" fiberglass tail and or seat sections. Seat sections are designed in conjunction with the rider. These will never be mass produced and each one will be unique. From ratty to shiny, a cafe seat of your...

Thanks I did it myself. The circle was a bit of a pain but it came out nice. I went flat white and gloss sun rise red. yeah i went the mikes xs cam route though i had read that the other cam was the way to go. Over all impretty happy with the motor as it is now.

cool. anyone else?

cool i figure mid or late in the month after the 4th of july would be cool. This way everyone has a chance to get days off or other things in order. Perhaps we could start a sign up sheet? Might be nice to get a bbq at a local park and then take a ride somewhere... perhaps angeles crest since...

Just wondering if anyone would be interested in getting monthly meet/cruise kinda thing organized?

heres another one I did

I use floral foam called Oasis. Its really easy to form, shape, and shave down. After getting the desired shape i cover it with a layer of masking tape and then lay the fiberglass/resin on that using a thin layer of vasoline so the glass pulls away from the tape. and in still working on...
