[AdminGuy]

OK, I'm in the dark here - pls explain. Performance mod?

Cory- some actor fella named Dan Ackroyd going for a ride with local folks out to museum on Sunday. Bout an hour. All invited. Should be fun. He really needs an Indian....hee-hee.... marketing/promotion my speciality.

[c.o.]

Well.........well..........Paul schmoozin' with the rich and famous are ya? As I'm assuming this has all happened by now, I hope it was fun! I do agree Mr. Ackroyd should be shown the way of the Injun!

[AdminGuy]

Nope, this Sunday - lots of time. He's doin a Promo tour of some sort.
Whatever....

Need knuck head talk. speak!

Hey Paul, check out the new Horse mag. Theres a good article in it by Chopper Dave about the heads.

ChopperDave, What tire are you planning to run on the rear of that 19 inch? Any new pictures yet?

[AdminGuy]

OK, I prob missed the horse article but would really like to read/see it.
Month of pub? photo the pages and email it to me? ya, that's sorta illegal.

Dan Ackroyds first bike was a Norton Atlas which I think he said he destroyed or dumped or something.

[AdminGuy]

OK- now I see what Dave is doing. I guess he wants two single carbs in line. Thus the two front heads. Should look pretty neat!

Holy Crap! It sounds like you put a lot of work into that unit. I'm thinking it will all be worth it in the end! Good Stuff!!!

[oddmystic]

Damn man, that looks pretty dang cool.
Cant wait to see it finished.
You are building this for some kind of Build Off right??

dave.

[Chopperdave]

well

Yes
I am doing it for the horse magazines smoke out chop off deal

But really most of those people will have no idea the work that's in it

But that's ok
Coz I have it built so cheap its scary
And
I'm building it for me!

And its my dream knuckle really.
But
Man a lot of it has been super crazy to do
Like the tappet block
But
Its spot on
So
It will run
Today, I have to build a matching set of carbs, pull the tranny back apart, it feels weird
Finish the reear brake linkage and build my air cleaners
I am also using the bike to prototype a bunch of new parts I'm makin
Air cleaners
Taillight
Etc...

[AdminGuy]

Looks good Dave! Just curious - why didn't you put the carbs at the same degree angle. ie the rear carb matching the front carb outward angle. Was there a technical reason for this?
