I've got a picture at home but in the interim, my favourite V-twin has to be the Temple Anzani Brooklands racer...go on google it - she's awesome!

If You can't fix it with a hammer, You've got an electrical problem.

They'er not too heavy - lightweight alloy I guess but the stopping power is amazing. Set up right these things work better than hydraulic brakes...and they look sensational :D

i had drums on my 1970 pro-street duster (road going drag car w/narrowed rear, 16" tires, 440 ci, 'glass nose) because they are lighter and had less rolling resistance vs. the disks of the era.
