There's no shame to pushing tin occasionally...






The two-wheeled tin I push most frequently:

L-R 1986 FXRS LowRider, Karcher 2600 psi pressure washer..... in the back, 2006 Sportster, 2010 Ultra Classic in foreground. Cub snowblower in between the dresser and Sporty. All have two wheels although the Cub seems to be more useful these days.

How do we know that's really you? It could be Darth Vader for all we really know.

Howzabout a high rez pic of that blond in your avator on your bike. Or better yet, on mine! About 1920x1200 ought to be large enough.

Here is my 1972 Honda CB750K. I restored/modified the bike over a two year period. I turned it into a mild cafe' style. The major emphasis was on the engine and suspension for runs down the drag strip. The stock engine was punched from 736cc to 910cc. Stock dyno run was 57hp at the rear wheel, it now makes just shy of 100rwhp. I am running a very hot cam for top end speed, a lightened and balanced crank from APE, oversized Ti valves and retainers, lightened rotor, Dyna 2000 ignition with rev limiter, race baffle Kerker exhaust, HD clutch and springs, CR racing carbs, etc. You name it, it has it. Had the pistons coated by Swain Tech, and the clutch gears undercut at Fast By Gast. Easily have $8K into the motor alone. Only problem with the bike is keeping he front wheel on the ground 1st through 3rd gear.

Hey Sparty, love the bike

Thank you. I love it also. I forgot to mention. The engine case, cylinder block, and head are raw aluminum. I just bead blasted them - no paint. It takes days to detail it - which I love doing. I have tried every aluminum product known to man. My father's cousin worked for NASA and he created his own secret formula (shhh) and I have been using it religiously - there is none better. It set me back a nice sum of $$$ because it is small batch, but boy does it work. He also created the polishing compounds for me. When you read about aerospace type formulated products, well, he is likely the guy behind many of them. I only have a gallon and 60 some odd ounces of it left and then it is gone forever. Luckily, it takes only about an ounce to do all of the bike.
