Cafe racer to me has very little to do with checker strips or clubmans it is about building the fastest bike you can and then working it like a mule. The friendship and pashion of you guys,always push me to go bigger. This bike is hands down the wildest one ive ever built or ridden. half the time it doesnt know weather it wants to stomp on you soul or distroy it self. All you guys can play our little game how ever ya see fit. Im a if it hurts ill hit it harder kinda guy. stay tuned i got some more KICK ASS pictures that explain what a 80hp 300lbs machine will do when you roll on the loud grip like ya want to break it off

My votes in, go HD! Love that GS but I'm probably somewhat biased as a confessed GS lover... love that paint scheme but that whole bike is just badass minimalist GS at it's best 
Can't take anything away from the others though, lots of exquisite detail in Isabel and Brad there's just nothing quite like a sleeper... that thing looks like it has vicious at heart...

Haha yea it was a monster it eather ran a carb dry or lost a circlip and the wrist pin found its way to a port and all hell broke loose haha it sucks but if this kinda shit doesnt happen to ya at least once your not tring hard enuff guys that lean on motors dont have a bunch of spares for there health now i just need to find a few of those guys with hat in hand and get my new motor tagether
Oh My. That one is very dead. I can see what appears to be detonation on that piston followed by seizure and at that point the crank kept going and it snapped the rod like a carrot.
Were both crank seals new or old?
What Main jet was in there?
What was the ignition timing?
What does that spark plug look like? Probably covered in piston but is it possible top see the electrodes or are they plated now.
It was either a seal leak on the left side - common. That's where the alternator is and the seal dries out.
Or it may have bean too lean or too much ignition advance.
What was the engine running like when it failed and how many revs then or just before that - 10k , 12k or more?
What does the other plug look like?

I reject your reality, and substitute my own!
Yeah, same here. Not that I don't know what the bike looks like, but nothing showing up on this thread from noddy.
