Former Hi-tech, now Heavy-tech!
A technical beast!

I hope Honda as a company feel pride when looking at this bike!

Injection system needs to be set up, exhaust, fuel system etc. A ways to go fellas. Funny thing seeing it in person it looks small. When you look at the Top Fuel bikes and barless bikes (4 ft swing arms) it looks tiny. It's true.

You should have seen the faces when people approached the bike and found out it was the original............

No doubt!

Spoke with Russ for a little while, he even snapped the picture. Other than the engine assemblies the only other part that was salvaged was the fuel tank. They hammered out the dents as best they could, checked for leaks and bolted it on. Definitely adds some character... other than the character sitting on the bike in the previous post!

Wilbur, you look pretty comfortable sitting on 12 cylinders! I was happy to meet you in Valdosta. And it was cool to see you representing SOHC out there on the track!

No, still plumbing work (fuel, oil ?) to be done was my understanding.

PeWe · « **Reply #3138 on:** May 11, 2020, 09:07:34 AM »

Is there an engine spec on which parts used? Rods, pistons diam included, cam etc etc.
Not only old RC parts?

MikeR would have all that info on the current rebuilt engines PeWe, as he did them.

Correct Tintop.

If they got it running today, there would be no place open, to display it and show it to the public..

I thought I heard / read that the plan was to have it ready to fire for the fall Man Cup (November?). Still a ways off, but......

Sam Green Racing · « **Reply #3143 on:** May 12, 2020, 12:32:46 PM »

I messaged Russ last week just to ask how he was but got no answer, I don't even know where the bike is.

Garage start teaser on Youtube works fine too!

Edit: Should work fine if it exist one.... Let's hope
