Very nice video.  But isn't that a lot to test oil pressure?

Yeah I was thinking the same. What's accomplished here. Can't really lay into it with those exhausts. And what good builder would be that paranoid about oil leaks?

Might be the answer to the question no one asked, But the guy is into it, and gets points for that!   ;)

Might be some comfort to a customer, especially if the frame is months away from being done.

That set up is amazingly close to what I built for running up rebuilt motors.
Oil tank, instrument/ignition panel and throttle setup nearly identical.
Mine started off as a hair brain idea mainly for a challenge but it's a good thing.
The engine can be rotated and fully assembled in the cradle and run up and checked before it's fitted.

I live in Darwin.
Actually about 25ks out in the rural area.
A bit more room to move out here and enjoy the bush.
It's a great place for the kids to grow up.
Originally from South Oz many many moons ago.
That's where I got the Honda bug back in the 70's and the police got to like me a lot - Speeding Tickets!!! ;)

Man that looks just like (1/4 of) the exhaust system I had on my Briggs and Stratton mini-bike ;D. How come it sounds so good? You just can't make these CBs sound bad huh!
