a wild bike for sure and a great score on the pix  js!

but, it seems they went out of their way to route the compressed air near the exhaust. looks like they felt a need for as many bends as possible rather than keep heat away from the intake.

not decided yet whether i actually like the bike.  :-\




Yeah I saw that and rolled the eyes for a bit. To each his own, but thats just....dumb.

Guys, the guy has metal studs protruding through his tires. i have a feeling functionality was not a big concern in this deisgn...
Having the intake tubing come straight out and make a bend towards turbo would look obtrusive

maybe when you're racing on ice, the intake freezes up and that keeps it from closing shut with ice.

Pink Taco is being featured in the winter copy of Street Chopper.
Even on front cover with Plum Smuggler ( '68 shovel HD ).

Also has Denver's 750 chopper Rainbow featured story in it.

 I remember DENVER. Went to his shop many of times here in San Bernardino. A friend of mine has a cb750 denver chopper and it just sits there with crap piled all over it. I've tried to save it but it's to sentimental to him as he was very good friends with denver.

CE, he's not building my engine; seems like he's in Australia. Im happy in SoCal.

The exhaust looks like a typical Yoshi style with a reverse cone added. Nice Seeley it's mounted on!!!   :o  RR
