Ecosse, Goldammer has not used Buells in his bikes.
 That is , I think #1 of the three big singles he has done so far
 Starts off with big twin parts, reworks it, so it looks like it was made as a single.

 4 1/4 inch bore.. :o.. ends up around 950cc's

 The front end on his green bike.. he has tested one of those to 160 mph.. on a single  :o.. it has a shock with damping, inside the neck!


thanks for the correction... and info. wild stuff!

I had those same lasers in my senior photo, but I left the cat at home!

i'm diggin the bill cosby sweater!!

I was thinking the same thing Iggy.  That might solve my issue with what to do with my rusty fork tubes - paint them and wrap them (except I'll use something a lot less expensive than header wrap!).  Nice find Johnsy.

good score johnsy! good brain storm mcrider, et al!

i'm not keen on the contour of the black  on the tank (seems awkward) but overall it's a keeper!

Looks like a speed-dent to reduce the aerodynamic profile!  I've had a few of those custom installed before...

Cover looks bead or media blasted..

 The tape to me looks like Hockey Stick tape... which may be AKA cloth electricians tape.. which might be same for bats....nothing new...

 Boardtrackers used it for grips 100 years ago...

::)

By only puting a dent on the right side, the bike is perfect for a left turn oval track.  Reduced air friction on the right side is the same effect as added drag on the left side, allowing for easier left turns.  The modification was obviously done with great care and precision, perhaps with a carefully swung paint can or dropped shovel/step-ladder.  I hear dealerships will often do this for free and not even charge the customer.

I only joke, of course...
