FE/FC Let's see pictures of your new FE501

Don't hesitate, the 501 is the perfect bike for what you ride. Heck I ride single track with it too. It feels as light as my 310 and has lots of grunt. I'm at 70 hours and 2000 miles now. She's a keeper. Buy the non S model if you can but if you have to buy an S model get the power commander from ZipTy right away. Great bikes.

P.S. My 501 doesn't look like the picture anymore, it's got the used look now...

Buy one, go broke and have fun doing it like a smile on a skunk eaten s#!t.

Fastest and funnest bike I've ever ridden and I've ridden plenty of bikes in the dirt. Its well engineered, Great engine. You could ride it in third gear practically all day and it will chug through just about anything. unless your on a footpath left behind from deer or a few javelina, where I live. Or smugglers. It always has power faster than you can say "OH hell yea". I just bought the G2 tamer throttle tube as it is actually faster ratio so your wrist is in a more favorable position when it's pinned wide open. I'm still waiting for several things that are back ordered parts for mine. Full factory kicker assembly. BRP rubber submount for a Scotts stabilizer. Acerbis dual compound x-frame frame guards. I just bought the clear Acerbis 4.1 gallon gas tank this morning. No side panels needed and it was only 200.00 bucks. Shipped already.

It has 56.6 miles on it, already plated. Insured, already getting its Arizona pinstripes. There's lots of nice add ons available relatively well priced. I even got a 2 tone Husaberg seat off of ebay. This seat will fit it perfectly in black and gray from the Husaberg parts catalog. $124.00 just shipped for something different. I need another seat pan for the "SeatConcepts 7" inch wide sport" dual sport seat foam and carbon gripper cover with blue stitching I have to put together and along with some of my after market goodies comes the use of those stickers that I usually don't care much about. So a few of those stickers have been added over the areas that I have noticed so far to scuff the easiest. from either my riding gear or the desert in general. It's only new once. I already dropped mine on a 4 ft. steep gully with a hole in the face of it. I picked it up and drove through it again both directions twice each way to redeem myself. So that was the first scuff on the tail of the rear fender. Yaa. It fell over. I've seen new bikes come unstrapped on there way out to the riding area on their first ride and get dragged down the road by a tiedown strap for a quarter of a mile. So I'm over it. Acerbic plastic kits are 106 bucks. stocks cost more for sure but who's counting? .

Heres some of the little bits and pieces so far.

what is that badass MOPAR

More pics. The bikes the Plymouth the Z and the Security and of course the mess.

Here's how to keep the shifter retainer screw on with out using fancy new aircraft crimping devices that nobody has access to for tie wire and without drilling a weak spot into your shifter to tie it off on as well. do it old school the way we did working on airplanes and race cars for years. First off. Buy this over sized headed screw for $6.00 from Hammerhead that's already drilled to easily be safetied. This will keep it from turning in the off direction. No holes drilled in the shifter required. Notice the wrap around the head of the screw goes under the wire where it starts to twist. so it can't come off from around the half of the hex. Pull snug but don't mar the wire. Do this snugging pull from back on the wire a ways. Not the part or section of wire you are actually going to use as your safe tie. Then twist clockwise 9 to 11 twists per inch. Not more than that not and too tight up against the hex head or it will fatigue the wire and break it.
Then go around the shifter lever itself and jerk it snug to shape it and twist it off about 5/8 of an inch and clip it and fold the sharp edge over 180 degrees.

If you must burn rubber or any old race gas on the street And I usually have some good stuff around. you take out the 66'Plymouth Belvedere. Its 100 percent Tig welded 4130 1-5/8" X .083 Chromoly round tube chassied was built in house completely, is street legal, steel floors. and a 543 Mancini shortblock with full CNC 325 ccport volume Indy Cylinder Wedge heads. It makes about 640 HP ( moderate estimate) on pump gas.

Hey Timmy, I noticed my HH shifter already had a pre drilled hole for safety wire, just like the screw. I worked on airplanes for 8 years for uncle Sam so safety wire is in my wheelhouse.
Nice cage!

If you like that you should see the under side of this toy.

Its leaves tire tracks that you have to see to believe. If you went for a ride you would believe. I don't even drive it, cause it takes about 30 bucks in fuel to run it for an hour.
Want to buy it? Its about to be put up for sale. I'll negotiate any number as long as its above $40,000.00. Over 60,000.00 in receipts and I built it entirely from scratch not one thing did I pay to have done except the front and rear window professionally removed and reinstalled. By my local glass guy. I did all the rest, paint and all. I painted it gray because it was built for battle and I have NO IMAGINATION cant you tell. I won't even entertain offers of anything less than about $ 40,000.00. Even if you bring the cans of gas.

Both of these toys do easy wheelies.

You like to burn rubber here's a look at the 430 geared 9inch housing, I made the end bells for it to make it actually wider not narrower after buying a second set of 3" longer axles for each side, so its wider now by 6" inches to fit in a car. It was for a 4 link dragster or a 4 link roadster housing. Lenco billet Locker not a spool and 430 street gears not drag gears. these will last. Never is this car going down a drag strip. The car has sat now un-driven for over a year and needs a good douching. It is full of dust. Probably wonder how? but I just have lost interest in the cars thing.

[/ATTACH]

The passenger seat in the Plymouth is for the guy sticking his tongue out like a big Hemi-roid because this one is a Wedge motor. He used to go for rides in my Hemi car too. Loved it, even wheelies and burnouts. When the car shows come up the local clubs would ask me "are you going to bring your Harley"? Or car? So sometimes I would bring both, then go back and get my 2 wheeled Harley.

reveille, you like the cage, figure out how I did that with a new headliner installed and fit it that tight?

My shifter has the hole in it too up at about 11o'clock position, but its for smaller wire than I normally use and the hole in the screw is larger than it was. To me it was not in an effective position to retrieve that wire once passed through the hole. Is this where yours is too. I thought it was a stupid location.



I've held my A&P for 23 years but don't practice the trade anymore. I got tired of signing my life away in aviation log books when working around so many other idiots that could so easily influence your livelihood were screw ups and were the direct cause of to many crashes. I won't say anymore than that. Now I weld for Uncle Sam and DHS and work with even more idiots in green uniforms with guns. I ain't talking about the army but that's where many of them come from.

Same spot mine is drilled. Funny, I used blue locktite on my oem last spring and it never came loose. I did locktite again on the hh lever. I ma y safety wire it, we'll see.

Man that Mopar is onehellofa midlife car.

Me too, a dab of blue and safety wire. I'll never have a problem I hope.

I just got some brand new pair of Alpine Stars Boots. I need to spray them with rubbing alcohol to break the glaze and put on 2 pair of socks and stand in the hot bath tub for about an hour to break em in doing squats I guess. The ankles are a bit stiff for right now and I thought my other boots weren't even broken in yet. The new ones fit as comfortable as any shoe or boot I have ever worn. I'll always remember my old Alpine Stars boots, the ones from back in the late 80s and 90s. They got wet so many times they cracked to pieces getting force dryed when I was younger and would set them next to a house heater. but the 2 pair of socks trick with rubbing alcohol is something I learned when I worked in the saddle shops. We would advise this to many customers buying cowboy boots. Some would buy spray shoe stretch or shoe stretchers themselves. take it from an old saddle maker this is all I need to do But even with 3 days off a week I would rather do many things than stand in the tub full of hot water for an hour doing squats.

Harley would probably attack me thinking I had lost it considering nobody hardly ever uses my spare bathroom and he would think I'm probably jumping in through the window. He barks like crazy at me now just when I get up and start putting on any of my riding gear.

It pisses him off I guess cause I'm doing this without him. Last week when I assembled the bike and the next day took it for the first ever ride after the silicone set up on the exhaust system. He had gotten ahold of the bag that had the spare shorter lever bolts and rubber dust boots and tiny fuel filter insert that came with the bike for if you want to take off the stock flag style hand guards.

I came in the driveway gate and found one of them in the yard and the other one in the house . They were undamaged both of them. The bag still had the screws in it when I found it and I found the stapled separate bag with the fuel inlet insert. It looks like a small insert for hanging something on your drywall sheetrock. He was not happy. My new Husqvarna welcome folder and manuals were down low where he could get at them but knows better. The bag was right there on top. He just stole the bag with the rubber parts in it and opened it to tell me he was pissed off. the other day he took the section of wire harness for the horn itself which I had unplugged from the light harness and I still haven't found it. I gave up because I didn't need it anyway.

MAYBE I BETTER GO GET SOME CANS OF GAS FOR THE BIKES AND THE PLYMOUTH CAR AS I'M NOW OUT, FOR THE BIKES AND TAKE HIM FOR A RIDE IN THE CAR BECAUSE HE IS GETTING LEFT BEHIND AND HE LETS ME KNOW IT. LITTLE GUY IS SMART..

LOOK AT HIM, HE'S JUST LOOKING FOR TROUBLE.

i thought it was a Belvedere or a Fury for give me its as old as i am so what do you think it makes on the bottle and how can you not know how long it takes for that badboy to stop the clocks [ WE NEED A CAR SECTION ]

My 70"Challenger would run in the low to mid 8s at 166 or more with a 488 gear. The guy I sold it to in Oklahoma had a nine inch convertor built like this one has and swapped to a 456 gear. It dropped 2 tenths. As it was all over at about 1100 feet for the 488 gears. it would run a an easy 1.18 60 ft. time.

The 66'Belvedere will never go down a drag strip. I'm done with that BS. I've never had to run it on the bottle. I took the plate system off because the aircleaner nut touched the under side of the fiberglass hood. I didn't want it to cause a crack or smash down the filter. to clear. It didn't need it anyway. From 30 miles an hour at a rolling start. You just nail it and it will go up in to smoke until about 80mph and you short shift up into 3rd gear if you have enough road and a set of bowling balls for nuts.

The 4130 full rear frame rails and cage in this thing is a 16 point design and 100 percent Tig welded with E80S -D2 filler rod. It was designed on the floor of my shop to scale was bent from straight lengths on my tube bender. The floors are all 20 gauge steel and not aluminum. They were bead rolled in my shop, etched, then primed, Sem black coated and sprayed with Raptor coating for truck bed liner before installation. All seams were sealed with butyl rubber the back side of every steel panel on this car was done the same way to protect it from the elements. Only the under side of the hood and the trunk lid didn't get this coating as I wanted to save weight a little bit. The chassis was actually built and designed around the full exhaust system. So were the seat mounts for easy wrench access.

It has a full manual billet reverse valve body from JW transmissions and non compression braking in first gear so it just coasts until the RPM reaches the rolling speed again. Its wild, has a trans brake of course, bolt in sprag, low gear set 272 to 1 low, 172 to 1 second 1 to 1 third. stock is 242 to 1, 142 to 1, and 1 to 1.this gets the heavy car up and moving, as recovery to third gear is easier with a taller final rearend gear ratio now, Than having a lower final gear to get it moving from a standing start and recovery to second gear. So its like having a lower gear ratio off the line and a taller high gear. Transmission also is fully rollerized with torrington bearings, steel hubs, aluminum drums and six element planetary gears. heavy duty shafts. .Aluminum 4" driveshaft with 1350 yokes and the engine has 4 bolt cross billet bolted caps and a full external dash 12 dual line external swinging pickup trap door gated dragster style low profile breadbox style oil pan. Manley H beam rods, Callies 4.5 stroke crank shaft and is bored 60 over with a Siamesed mopar mega block. Wiseco pistons, dished. Full CNC port job. the heads can flow in excess of 420 cfm at .700 lift. Runs a set of 2.19 intakes and 1.91 exhaust valves, with T&D shaft needle bearing rockers. 1.7 ratio. just set them and forget them. The cam is a small solid .610 lift flat tappet solid lifter,
Cam Motion camshaft. the next smaller cam is actually a hydraulic grind. Its a pump gas motor.

If I had to honestly answer your question. I would imagine it would go down the drag strip at about 10. 40s and that's conservative, and I could drive it home and there 120 miles. No trailer queen here Bro. It has a fiber glass hood, trunklid and bumpers. Twin 10 gallon fuel cells and twin Optima blue top marine batteries. A 12 volt mini compressor in trunk with a small recovery tank between the tubs in side the car for the airide controls for the rear "shock waves", (air ride) in the rear.

The lower rear shock mounts are adjustable up or down. Wheelie bar mounts are built in, All plate mounts on the chassis are also 4130 plate and are plasma cut on a CNC Torchmate plasma cutting system. All Holes that aren't plasma cut to a rough size and had to be actually drilled were also reamed to size so they are actually round, done with these mount plates stacked.

It has fully adjustable 1 3/8" diameter 4 link bars on the rear suspension. Strange engineering one piece housing. Bolt through aluminum center section with heavy duty billet pinion supports, built in heim joint mounts for a rear sway bar/ rear anti roll. 4 links bars are on 17" centers frame rails are only 18 5/8" wide over all. The rear wheel tubs are over 28" wide X 40" inches. A tig welded chromoly double wishbone track locator of my own design with a zerked slider assembly mounted above and on top of the aluminum housing. Twin caliper Strange Engineering rear brakes.

Large diameter vented rotor Wilwood front disc brakes. A hand made 4130 front K- member with upper and lower Teflon lined heim jointed 4130 A arms, also using the original top cam adjusters for the ultimate front end alignment, 4130 tubular lower control arms, splined ends on a tubular sway bar housed in delrin bushed tube bushings and the front now sits on adjustable coil over shocks. With Mustang 2 modified spindles with front steer, The Ackerman angle and tie rod connections have been corrected for proper bump steer with an adjustable up or down bushed mustang 2 steering rack and pinion set up.

All this saved over 125 lbs or more off the front end. Wheels are Mickey Thompson and they are 20 x 16 rears and 18 x 4.5 fronts. The rear tires are Mickey Thompson radials 32"x22"x20"s. fronts are also radials, skinny 5" x 18s.

Yes we should have a car page.

Sorry for the high jack and off topic dribble.

Don't post pictures of the shower squats please...

I would be doing this reveille with all my riding gear on standing in the Hot water in the tub not my shower.

Than after the boots get wet I would try to go riding until they dry. This is to loosen up the flex in the ankles.

I wouldn't do this in my shower, the water would be going down inside the boots.

I'll leave that one alone. Only my chick does squats, gets wet and goes down in my shower.
She might even be wearing boots but I've never noticed.

MAN TIMMY YOU AND I HAVE GOT TO BE LOST BROTHERS MOM ALWAYS SAYS THERE WAS A MIX UP AT THE HOSPITAL YOUR CHICK SOUNDS JUST LIKE MY OL BOOBS

Well something always gets stretched when she does that, but it isn't her boots, The shrinkage occurs after. If I stay in the shower after she bails out. LOL!!
Sometimes I get to ride with her right after.

We are officially derailed...
