This bike is beautiful. I come here and look at this thing almost everyday, it is the bike that made me ditch the streetbike idea to go forward with an AF. I ride dirtbikes and when I see this bike I gotta build one. Looks like the ultimate all arounder. You could hit the track, send that thing off ...

Ok I am having a bit of a delima. Im sure y'all have seen my post and the bike I am building and the parts I have bought, have for sale, bought wrong parts ect. I think this bike would be really cool and have already sunk money into it. It would probably not get tagged and just be super fun to build...

People powdercoat there bikes all the time with no issues. This is a freak accident!0 they were excels and I never see people pc their spokes. I would think by nature spokes have to have some flex to them and if they get baked and can't flex they will snap. I haven't seen a wheel explode like that ...

Figured I would share a little bit of knowledge I picked up about powdercoating your spokes. Dont do it.

Ok not trying to keep mixing parts but I have a 480 head sitting on my bench. Do y'all know if it would work on the 84 jug? From what I understand the bores are the same. I was anticipating having to do some head work to remedy the pinging problem.

I'm not throwing in the towel. I have never ported anything but women, so I figure having someone doing a proper job, documenting before and after is probably my best bet as far as not hacking up a cylinder and not knowing why or how it is performing worse than stock. Having someone do it right the ...

That rad lol. I was reading more of Erik Gorr's book today and Im getting a better understanding. Probably the best way to learn is run it stock with the jetting dead on. Then pull the jug and take measurements and photos and send it to one of the Gorrs trainees and then study it and ride it when I ...

and since it is the same displacement that be why port timing would be the same, correct?

Base gasket would probably be the LAST parts I should have been comparing. It's making a lot more sense now.

alrite that all sounds good, you've got ambition. now i dont want to kill it for you but you're also going to put a cylinder with port timing meant for 76mm stroke on a 79mm stroke bottomend. You'll need a deck spacer forsure, which might help in the blending of the transfer port area (which is ext...

The 84 500 cylinder will bolt right on your 85. Get a 84 cylinder and head. Roosty you got any pics of Jeff Thomas's twin it is watercooled finer If this is correct (no offence) Then I will have a 480 cylinder and head in the classified section for a good price if anyone is looking. :) I didnt thin...

Yea, the the 750 is 4T. It was just on the valve cover, I was just playing around with my grinder. I polished it up really pretty and th casting marks just looked ugly. It was purley asthetic.

I got the 83 480 cylinder to match the head. I'm sure y'all are
tired of these little mock up pics but I got my new tank in. It's smaller, narrower and shorter. Looks a lot better I think.
