Topic: very thorough look at Pops 78 GS1000 Superbike, and the man himself...

[underachiever]

Just stumbled upon this. Not a honda (or a SOHC) but a great and very detailed look at a vintage racebike by the man himself. And a bit of Pops history to boot. Thought I'd share.

Thanks, you just can't give Pops ever enough credit for his achievements.

Great piece. Ole Wes was hard to beat on that thing for a while.

nice to see this again,

read the original article just as i was getting into bikes back in 79', it was so detailed and well written that i kept it its buried in my collection somewhere.

The tip of drilling 10mm holes in the head and block was something that i remembered form that story and applied in my motor.

I found it quite interesting that the cams where not that wild, 260 duration, same numbers as the megacycle i am running in my 500.
