I went to Rice-O-Rama in Oxford, Ma yesterday. Vintage japanese motorcycle show / swap meet. Great day, great ride.

I took a **** pile of pics!!! Trying to uplaod them to photobucket so I can post them. The bulk uploader is kinda hard to use. I will post a few pics for now and add more as I can.

Hey, a CBF!!!!!

Ctluba on Wild Bill's chopper!!

 

Been following this thread for a while. While it's not what I would build, I give you one "hell yeah" for daring to be different, and BUILDING what you wanted. Don't pay attention to people like evolution. If it didn't come out of a box with instructions, he doesn't know what to do with it.

 

Thanx gamble

a few more scoots

 

Man this thing sounds bad *** with the baffles out!!!!

Several guys have advised there will be a big power loss if I run her like this though, so back in with the baffles. Just wanted to hear it!!!

 

I also need new tires, so you know what that means.........burn out / donut video!!!!!

I just dont know if I can pull it off with the forward controls and the open primary without killin myself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Power is a combination of intake (air cleaner, usually), fuel (carb/FI), and exhaust. Lot of loud, poor running Harleys out there because so many folks just throw on a set of loud pipes, don't do any thing about fuel. I bought an 883 sporty a few years back with the baffles cut out, still had the factory plug over the mix screw on the carb. Popped and farted pretty bad; put a size up jet in it and adjusted the mix screw, ran smooth enough, but they really bark with no baffles, finally got a pair of stock takeoffs - was surprised at how much more mid range it had. Didn't need to go back to the stock jet either, factory jetting is pretty lean, mix adjust was enough.

Put some new Avons on one last year, thought who cares about the old ones; darn rock hard Dunlop just hummed, not much smoke, but it sure did want to drift sideways - think, back tire on ice...

 

A little off topic guys, but I figure anybody who is into bikes has to appreciate THEE MOST BAD *** BIKES OF ALL TIME!!!!! 500cc two stroke GP bikes

These were before all these four stroke, traction control pussies!!!
