    Boy Howdy!!!
    I layed it down at about 15 mph and it burnt to a crisp. Almost back together. Motor is a 77 KZ 1000, with a mid cam and was a ripper with 34mm smoothbores. Should build a pretty good head of steam with the turbo.

    Yeah that turbo is more for looks than kicking ass. I always wanted a turbo chopper I've had most everything else

    Yeah that's mine, all fueled up and just added air to the tires.i think November a little wet and leaves. Slid down a it lit off couldn't even turn the petcock off. No damage to me only my ego. My knee knocked the carbset off and a spark from the the frame or pipes and it was over.

    Damn man, egos can be adjusted and repaired, sometimes better than before (rebuild). Glad you made it through without any physical harm.

    Wow thats crazy. 100 yr old generator running again. Are the huge flywheels needed to make up for the engines lack of torque when the generator is under a load? Good job my friend.

    Yeah they keep the speed up between stroke and when a electric load causes a drain on the HP. I think It's Too Cool!!
    I love making old stuff work!!

    Got the 250WR with a CR piston and Rod to start for the very first time, Very exciting to hear!! Wasn't sure it would work but they moved the wrist pin and not the ports!! Parts off to powder and Just about finished! Cutting the cooling guard off another pipe to complete. I'm goin to draw the guard to have a few cut on the CNC my friend has to replace the mostly F..ked ones I find!!
    Also got the old 360c enduro to fire just a bit! Got to find the Plate to ride it home soon!!
