It must have been house trained so it didn't mark it's territory.

45 magnum to the absolute extreme. Dual plugs, dual carb etc. Cool engineering if it worked properly. With a limey transmission behind it, would like to see the whole bike.

GLIDE

it has 2 amel carbs -- sportster heads and cylinders - a BSA pre-unit tranny -- but -- the bottom end is a 45ci the draw back was the crank sprocket - way to small it if hot rodded they broke --

They used to call that the 45 Magnum kit, fitting ironhead sportster heads and jugs to a 45 bottom end. Lots of high performance stuff out there for 45's, you can make them go fast, just costs money. In stock form a 45 will just keep going and going. Make them go fast at your own peril............

There's no head like Shovelhead. The Shovelhead is the handsomest motor Harley ever made.

A Half Assed Picture of the Rear sitting on the Front... kinda poor Pictorial. but... All I gots... we abandoned the Concept to become the first stock displacement Harley in the 9's...[On Gas]
Didn't make it... was the third... But, The only Pre EVO....
