[ws23rt]

Looks like it worked

   more pics please

[Ponch ®]

its got no doors....

[ws23rt]

This is not old fart friendly.

I guess this is one of those you won't know what the top speed is, but it's definitely gonna be a show stopper.

[ws23rt]

It has a top speed. I will not try to find it. On paper 6000 rpm is 220. It's not a dragster either. It is a cruiser. 1800 rpm in third gear is about 80mph.

I don't think that's anyone friendly.

[XS29L]

Holy Smokes !!  That thing looks like fun !!     

[ws23rt]

That's what this stuff is all about. Having fun

[dyslexic teddybear]

This is one of those things that you see and say......

"Not just no, **** NO!!"

But you can't stop looking at it and thinking........

[Indygenerallee]

Are you going to have "Deathwish" airbrushed onto the gas tank??? 

[ws23rt]

Hot motorcycles don't kill. The throttle hand kills.

[Homerr]

Needs to be a Joe Dirt version as a proof of concept first.  Then make a pretty version if you want.

[Fred]

That's pretty awesome!

[chargd72]

That little radiator is going to be working pretty hard.  My little 600cc R6 had a radiator 4 times the size of that.

[ws23rt]

That is an oil cooler. The radiator is 16x14x2 and is under the trans. Can't see it.

[moparstuart]

 give us some detailed specs  ,  motor displacement , tranny  ?  more info     

[ws23rt]

KB alum. block. Mopar alum heads. 470ci stock hemi grind cam. Mass-flo efi. 727 trans. Cable operated gate valve on valve body to relax clutches. Manual shift foot operated. My own right angle drive in place of tail shaft. alt. in bell hsg.

Ok, good.  Otherwise that engine wouldn't have lasted long.

   awesome

[4cruzin]

I certainly would be worried about the heat that is going to come off that monster engine . . . . 

[ws23rt]

Me too. But it won't be working very hard. I think a hot day in a parade is out.

[XS29L]

More pictures ?

[mauve66]

pics hell, i want to see a burn out video

[moparstuart]

how about this one

[ws23rt]

I saw that in person a few years ago at a swap meet/car show in portland. It had traction bars on it. Not sure what it could do at the drags but looks like fun.

[ws23rt]

I am still trying different things to get pics from my old camera to posting in an easier way. (don't try this as home)
Just in case something doesn't work right and I can't back up I am using something fun to look at

[moparsr2fast]

   Sooooooo, since nobody has asked yet, what does that thing get for fuel mileage?  

[ws23rt]

  Sooooooo, since nobody has asked yet, what does that thing get for fuel mileage?  

In that regard I do feel somewhat ashamed. It is not very green. Maybe a Prius badge would help. However fuel economy is related to how much work is being done. This won't be working very hard.
  If someone would help me collect cow farts I'm willing to run it on that.

This is not old fart friendly.

Why do I get the feeling you're talking about me?     

[ws23rt]

I am not like jumper I don't know you so I can't say. However by your response I suspect you may be of the older persuasion and may be gassy. But that is ok so am I.

There was one posted a few years ago with the Hemi mounted transversely. It wasn't a trailer queen by the look of it.

I would like to see any pics of stuff like this. I saw a pic of a small block chevy transversely mounted back in the 60s
The drive is much easier to make work that way but it just looks wrong. I still don't know how the boss hoss drive works but I am mopar and this is a dodge.

Impressive. Nuts, but impressive. Great fabrication skills, how long has it been in the build and what possessed you to do it, was there other big bikes/rods in the past? Or just a do it to blow your hair back kinda thing

Now now nuts sounds derogatory. In light of a recent thread we need to use care. In early 70s a good friend and I made a pact to make a hemi bike. The first idea was a 392 hemi and when we got done drawing up a few sketches the thing would be 12-13 ft long. This not good not to mention we were early 20s poor and needed to learn more stuff.
  I learned some more stuff and in 06 started to make this. A constant issue was keep it short as possible. My friend Bob always pushed to make this something that could be a business. I just wanted to make it work. I am still working nearly full time so this is a spare time hobby.

[mauve66]

add an overdrive to the tail of it and lets see if ya can get to 300MPH

I was ready for that back in the day. But the tires would pop. I didn't know that.

The movie The worlds fastest Indian Is an old favorite.

[Bob T]

No, not being derogatory, don't think  that for a minute. I guess I meant its outside the curve for a normal bike build .No malice intended.

W.F.I. is a cool movie, Every year in Invercargill where Burt was from they have a commemorative race day on the beach, called the Munro Classic, I believe, one of my mate rides his guzzi down for it. Big 4000km round trip

Sorry Bob I should have used    or   but My humor is rather dry. I did not take offense.
You may not have read that thread to which I refer.
 
There is a great lesson in that movie. Follow the vision. It may hurt along the way. If you give up than why having even started.
