Any idea what this drum is off of? Doesnt look like it belongs there.


Man that's a good one.  Looks like it's a front drum plate - it has a cable boss.  40 spoke - could be the plate off a CB450 or such
Yep, I'm the kid that figured out how to put things back together...eventually.

Probably a CB 450 reversed.
I saw an article about it a few months ago

Mmmmmmm... Super Rat's War Crimes. Absolutely Beautiful. Even the top motor mount on that bike is a work of art.



So nice in fact, that he cut into the tank just so you can still see it.

i could never build anything this cool but i dont think this exaust work on this bike... it breaks that back line that the monoshock left open
and it kinda seems like it would hit the swingarm in the case of a bump

I like the clip, but not for that bike's sound.   The Ducati clip from before had an awesome bike and great cinematography.

Sorry, just saw it now...maybe this is new.

One of my good friends has a 1972 r/60 bmw in his garage needs to be totally orehauled.
I would love to do something like this.

I found these inspiring not because they're show stoppers or lightning fast or engineering masterpieces but because they're built with virtually no money and no tools in the dirt and they run like a charm.
The guys that showed me these units, in Uluwatu, were amazingly proud that an Aussie would bother to stop and congratulate them on their workmanship.

It's cheaper to learn from someone else's experience but first you have to learn to tell the difference between a fact and a Furphy.
