I wonder where that was taken, that looks like Randaak's personal supercharged GL1000 in the background.

Not sure how a picture I took myself of my bike got on this site but thanks.  Just some details...
Bought new from Thriftylad Honda in Santa Monica, rode home and tore down...
'77 CB550F bored to 590cc using milled CB750 pistons/rings.
Head flowed by "Mama" Yosh.  Yes Mama not Pops.
Doubled up on base gasket to reduce compression.
Stock cam with S&W valve springs.
American Turbo Pak Header & Intake.
Exhaust fabricated by San Pedro Muffler
Modified Mikuni snow mobile carb.
IHI Turbo.
Dunstall Clip-ons (Micron)
1980 CB750 handlebar controls
Fiberglass front fender.
Dual front discs mounted reverse.
Modified Honda CBX tail section.
Kawasaki KZ1000 side covers.
ARD (Alan Richard D'Angelo) Magneto.
Boge-Mullholland Shocks.
Carol Shelby Wheels.
Paint by Steve Young of Crazy Painters (former employee of George Barris) who modeled the paint after his own Turbo CB750/1170 with side hack, known as "The Shadow"  BTW - Rare that any painter would model a paint scheme after one of their own personal creations.


Once a picture gets on the internet you never know where it will turn up. Thanks for signing up and giving us the details.

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.
