Man that thing is nuts! I urge folks to follow the link and read up on this 650cc enlarged to 900cc!

BTW: can someone edumacate me about the benefit of rephasing this or any engine?

Man, I can see why people get hooked on this sport; just watch this clip from On Any Sunday!

I like the style of these 70's era documentary films too.

Bill, There is at least one thread on 650motorcycles.com that tells the benefit. I have read up on it, but it's been some time ago and, for the life of me, I can't recall what it is.

If you get the chance, check back there. I Don't see where I'll get the chance to for a bit, But I will IF I do get the chance.

I think it has to do with making the engine run smoother and more responsive, But don't quote me! $:-\$

Take care, Bill

Bill, Here is a bit of info on the "rephasing" From the 650motorcycles.com site.

A 277° firing order engine does not vibrate like the stock 360° engine, and it will pull smoothly on up the rpm scale. We can do "477" engines only (1974-1983)

Here's a link showing the process of rephasing a crankshaft from 360 degrees to 277.

How about this little jewel from the U.K.?

Thanks Bill for the bit on rephasing... interesting modification to say the least. Very nice Yamaha street tracker too!

Like this action shot.

Won't blend into the crowd with this.

Ducati tracker.

Where did you find that?! I read about it in a recent rag but couldn't find pix on the internet. Good find and sweet bike.

Hope you don't mind, when I went there and saw those photos, I just had to bring a couple to light.

I was quite surprised, when I saw THAT one. Great job on it also.

I love this Excelsior! And this Japanese built Triumph street tracker.

I am not getting the Fuss over tghe duck.. to me it looks like tank, seat/fender, tires and bars..

Looks great, but very little wotrk done to it..

The eXcelsior.. now e are talking..

for something really cool, look up Paul Brodie OHC boardtracker..

Ecosse · « **Reply #97 on:** November 04, 2008, 12:08:46 AM »

About the Duc; I see what ya mean but to that I say it's often the little things that make the difference. I think the Italian is good looking to start with. This one off, for me, puts a tasteful twist on it.

I checked out your suggestion... and wow!
