Yes. I made a pattern and had sand casting done. I still have about 12 raw castings that need to be milled.

Godffery - the work you did on that tank is an inspiration.

These are the bikes the international riders at the Phillip Island Classic were complaining about, It races against the Suzuki Katana 1100's, XR69 Suzuki {gs1100 engined}endurance bikes, Kawasaki 1000 and 1100's and other muscle bikes of the era 1973 to 1982, It usually beats them too... They are getting up too 165HP out of the old pushrod twin 8)

This one was at Motoblot in Chicago a couple weekends ago.

The owner has a leather goods company. He is working on a new custom seat cover.

165 hp out of that motor is amazing - that's comparable to modern stock superbikes like the BMW, Yamaha and Kawi and better than others
