Nice bike, I am sure Designer will be posting some pictures of his past builds so you guys can compare. Is that a single carb I am seeing? If so get ready to explain how you made that work, that has been a long running topic on here.
I've heard of you before. I'm assuming you make the Designer clutch springs.Designer wrote: ↑Thu Dec 08, 2022 7:45 pmThat's one RAD Chopper you made there! I LOVE the Old Skool Chopperzzz look.
I don't see any struts on the Rear,....did you weld the swingarm in place?
I'll bet you ran the Rear Cylinder Intake Manifold over The top of the Rear Cylinder. My buddy, Daveguy1962, did that when he made is Side-mounted Mikuni Dual-throat Carb.
No issues with valve clearance to pistons? Did you have the relieve the 1400 pistons at all?Bobandchop wrote: ↑Fri Dec 09, 2022 5:42 am1500 has dished pistons 1400 has flat top. Combustion chamber is smaller with the 1500 heads so I got a huge boost in compression.

No sir just the heads and jugs. New rings and head gaskets since i was already there. I got some of the info from here actually.Designer wrote: ↑Fri Dec 09, 2022 7:38 amYes, that is I.Bobandchop wrote: ↑Fri Dec 09, 2022 5:47 amI've heard of you before.

Back in "The Heyday" of chopping/customizing on The Purple Board, I did some Gearing Mods. It did require Splitting the Engine Cases. Did you do that hen doing your engine mods?
No doubt! Only thing that bothers me is a vibration that comes and goes constantly. And I've replaced u joint and still nothing. Guessing it's from my shaft angle.hillsy v2 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 09, 2022 7:45 amYou would have found out pretty quick if there was.Bobandchop wrote: ↑Fri Dec 09, 2022 7:24 amNo sir.
