Well deserved Bill. You worked hard to get the bike in the ten's so this stands as a fitting reward. I'm sure you'll work even harder next time to lower and own both the MPH and ET records. Name in the books for all future generations and the old farts to see as well.

Well, my hard copy didn't arrive yet so here's a picture of a PDF document showing the other half of the CB/SS national record. Mine is for lowering my previous ET record from 2015. Next season is going to be very interesting.

Yes, it is! Lol. I'm so tired, wore out all my hand files rounding corners and filing additional cooling slots, wow time consuming! LMAO

Ummmm that was an early original head....

Bill/BentON Racing · « **Reply #733 on:** December 10, 2016, 07:11:59 PM »

Good eyes like in your avatar! 1011012 serial number. Went American picking last week.......

Looks like the Sun (rims?), is shining on you.. Hah ..looks like those cuts were already done to that head..
Man I would be playing up the 69 Honda 4 think to the max if that hits the track..
I got a 10*** case that is cut for 1080 , needs a few small welds... .Yoshi rods breakup rather than eat thru your cases.. It had I think powroll pistons in it..

You good Frank! Engine built in 1970!

754 · « **Reply #736 on:** December 10, 2016, 07:52:46 PM »

No that would be October or November 69 if its 11***
Did it come out of that trike ? What happened to the trike ?
Reminds me of one called Stratotaxi...

Bill/BentON Racing · « **Reply #737 on:** December 10, 2016, 08:06:08 PM »

I meant he built it in 1970. I'll ask about the trike. He was a tool and die maker, so was his Dad and Grandad!

Well, well. You scored Another treasure trove of Sohc parts. My luck isn't that good. Since the valve cover is off, I see you went in deep to investigate. Hopefully you're satisfied with what you found. Time for me to start searching for a complete motor again. I'm going to need some parts and pieces so I can maintain what I'm currently running.

Good job Bill. Nothing better than coming home with a trailer load.

Uhhh Frank, I'd bet Bill has a complete motor! LOL

Well now, you've got a good point there Jerry. hahaha

Bill/BentON Racing · « **Reply #741 on:** December 11, 2016, 04:56:53 AM »

You just need to stop by and get one! No $ needed for you!

No ,the engine is still together from the old days. Those are pics of the build. Said he used 450 pistons....real interested in that...17mm pins...but he could make about anything! He built several trikes and custom bikes/choppers. Yes Medyo, I got more Invaders and a nice Girder with a 21 on it!

Jim F · « **Reply #742 on:** December 11, 2016, 06:04:18 AM »

Did your parts come from the guy in Florida bill?

Bill/BentON Racing · « **Reply #743 on:** December 11, 2016, 06:40:00 AM »

Jim, yes. Came through Jeff Sutton, his quote was" if it was Kawasaki stuff, I'd bought it", so I called Bob and we put it together last weekend. Here's a pic of my mask after an hour or so upstairs......where the good engine and another 101xxxx engine came from and lots of parts! Used rope and a board screwed to steps...just me and Donnie. Lot of hard work, 2 days, finished at 3pm Sunday, then drove 12 hours home from Ft. Lauderdale. Still got to unpack trailer!!

Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er · « **Reply #744 on:** December 11, 2016, 10:16:49 AM »

An A engine with a Santee box on it. What's your take on it?

Medyo Bastos · « **Reply #745 on:** December 11, 2016, 10:29:29 AM »

pinto tail lights?

Bill/BentON Racing · « **Reply #746 on:** December 11, 2016, 11:42:22 AM »

Jerry I imagine the A was in a chopper. Don't know what all I got yet! Lol, K, Bill

dragracer · « **Reply #747 on:** December 11, 2016, 02:29:45 PM »

Thanks Bill. I don't need a runner. In fact it can be locked up with water damage as long as its a complete engine. I'll gladly accept the scraps 😆

Bill/BentON Racing · « **Reply #748 on:** December 11, 2016, 05:05:21 PM »

We can make that happen. Just got to come get it etc.

Will let you know when I can get down that way. The junk pile head rebuild is completed thanks to you and the new valves. Just need to get to the machinist next week to pick it up. I'm going to start figuring what other parts I might need after that happens.
