Did you have any problems fitting the automatic rear wheel into what looks like a K swingarm ?

Thanks. I am getting close to actually riding it, I hope to finish reworking the gas tank today and then it will be test ride time.

After a little sorting out, I was able to mount the automatic comstar wheel/brake using all the early K spacers and sprocket hub.

Seen a twin engine Harley at a drag race at KILE-KARE drag strip years ago, seen a twin engine KZ1000 at Vintage Days at MID-OHIO race track [ for sale ] a few years back but I would drive over to INDY to see a twin engine HONDA MAKE A PASS just tell me when and where.

Music in my ears!

More videos, please!

Pops Although it would be cool, I think this bike was originally built for fun and stand out. I don't think it would make much of a actual dragbike.

Here's a couple more pictures after a little more clean up and a short ride.

moving that thing around the garage and driveway has got to be a #$%*.

That's why they name them after Railroads..
How much over is it?
At 6 inch longer swingarm, it definitely. Affects parking. And turning around

BPellerine · « **Reply #37 on:** August 18, 2014, 05:51:11 pm »

is there a charging system on it ?if not it might be a short ride!but a cool one.bill

ivanhoew · « **Reply #38 on:** August 18, 2014, 10:50:54 pm »

excellent , whats it like to ride ?

trueblue · « **Reply #39 on:** August 19, 2014, 03:12:41 am »

Sounds nice, and looks like fun

TurboD · « **Reply #40 on:** August 19, 2014, 05:48:25 am »

Thanks Guys

Moving it around is really not that bad, but then again I have 3 other bikes with 68+ inch wheelbases. Hehe

No there is no charging system. I plan to run 2 batteries, one standard for just the coils and one lipo for a LED headlight and tail light. I calculate that I should run for a good hour before the ignition battery gets low and the lights should be good for a couple hours. More than I will ever ride it at one time.

The BIG thing no one has mentioned. There is no starter, its kick start ONLY. Lol

It would be killer to put that on tour with the RC Legacy team..... Just thinking..

BPellerine · « **Reply #42 on:** August 19, 2014, 05:41:43 pm »

well kick only is a whole nuther thing!but it must be a good starter.bill

POPS 911 · « **Reply #43 on:** August 26, 2014, 03:14:11 am »

Kick start and a total lost system, 68" long axel to axel [ seems like a 1320' bike ] I'll ride it !!!!! " ON ANY SUNDAY "

TurboD · « **Reply #44 on:** August 26, 2014, 05:14:14 am »

I rode it a little yesterday. Lol

I fitted it with LED head and tail light bulbs, greatly reducing the power drain from the battery. With standard bulbs the amp draw was roughly 5.2 amps, now its only .4 amp with the LED's.
