This baby was a 80". It had warmed over S&S heads, S&S cylinders, Weisco pistons, S&S Rods, stock wheels, S&S stage 3 Super E . It had a 9.97:1 compression ratio and was tuned to run on Chevron 93.It weighed 450 lbs. It would spin the Dyno to 102 RWHP at 5800 RPM, and turn the 1/4 at 11.32 sec. I hurt a lot of Evo and Twin cam owners feelings with it. I sold it to a fella out in North Carolina, and I hear the motor and trans is on a street bike now. I wish I had kept it. I sold it to buy a Bonnie Truitt 96" Ironhead dragster, Doug Vancils first dragbike. Man, I had fun on this one.

This was my first shovel in 1973, Germany. That's me on the left, the folks on the right belonged to the local touring club. They showed me a good time while I was there, and we still communicate today.
