Adds 5 degrees of rake and supercharges the engine without reinforcing the flexy frame.

Sounds like Carpy.

dont think you would be able to put a knee down with that supercharger on there i sometimes already think im going to hit my covers

Toxic · « **Reply #3 on:** January 25, 2011, 11:03:08 AM »

The frame is supposedly reinforced but it doesn't say where or how.

cool engineering on the engine, but my golly the styling isnt to my taste....

kindof seems that cafe racers are going the way of the chopper? ott paint and chrome do not a cool cafe make..

So does it run or not? In the youtube clip it is shown mounted 8 feet up a wall.

Hondell · « **Reply #7 on:** January 25, 2011, 01:22:41 PM »

All that spit and shine complete with a bent cooling fin.

I've never really liked much of Carpys stuff.

Just not my style.

'Course, I dun really like bling-ey choppers either.

I think his 'reinforced frame' was prolly the tail piece loop.

Wondering how that bondo on all the corner points of the frame is going to hold up.

Mlinder, you should improve your reading skills:

"The new tank is an extra 4 inches long to ensure the bike would have plenty of juice for long rides."

That doesn't mean it runs. That means if it could, it would have more fuel capacity.

He could have started it and run it up and down the street. That Rockabilly stuff gets to me after 2 or 3 minutes.

I heart anything supercharged but looking at that bike hurts my eyes..

mlinder · « **Reply #15 on:** January 25, 2011, 07:09:46 PM »

I'm not sure how you can have 5 or 6 minutes, or whatever that was, of a movie of a motorcycle without showing it at least starting up or something.

Roach · « **Reply #16 on:** January 25, 2011, 07:44:16 PM »

11 minutes of picture no video boooerns

Hasenkopf · « **Reply #17 on:** January 25, 2011, 07:48:10 PM »

that's the same bike he's had elsewhere on the net.... there is a photo of him sitting on it. I asked him where he got the belt for his drouin, but I found a source on my own.

Tintop · « **Reply #18 on:** January 25, 2011, 07:49:24 PM »

Well at least he didn't put one of those pedestrian slicers on it! Although it does have checkers down the middle.

Carpy's bikes are becoming as 'same old' as Benji's.

There is bracing...you can see if if you watch the 11 minute slide show. I just happen to click on the scroll bar at the right spot to see it.

I like the idea however I think I can do much better with that much time and money! Just saying $:-\$

I haven't had a vacation in 6 years, not counting my 1.75 month coma. I think I'm grouchey.
