The others that "do it" for me are the Honda CBX, Oil cooled GSXR's, Z1/900, Bevel drive Ducati's, V twin Vincent, Unit Triumph twins, Manx Norton, and BSA Gold Star. I have several 500 motors, and this picture.. ![]() ..makes me want to put one together as an ornament for the cave. |

Its just a rolling chassis with the bottom end of the motor. Good for parts. I would post a link but CL is blocked here at work. BTW sweet bike. I want one and will get one someday. Ever check out 2strokeworld.com? Its a pretty good site. More Yami than Kawi but pretty good. |

The navy has been using this on submarine since 1962. This motor has no paint,as close to OEM as you will ever get. |

I have some barrels and heads that are quite "furry". Should I bead blast them first? I'm guessing that threaded holes are not damaged by vapour blasting? ![]() |

| Permit Joined: Nov 2010 From: Happy Valley Oregon | The Triples get some NON-Ethanol Fuel Well pulled the triples out of hibernation and fed them some Non-Ethanol fuel just like they used to drink in the old days Man they love that stuff. If your bike is 1995 or older that's all you should be running. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
