Check out the period modified ironhead stroker I built outta a basket case this year. Got her in June, retired race bike(ran 9.9 in early 70's) that had been broken down for de-tuing so street use, then left to sit for 20 years to get it's paint all dinged up. I repainted the frame black, and left the rest for patina.
The engine is 4 5/8 T+O stroker flywheel, 3 3/16 bore with S+S 3700, sifton -- cams, Dytch cylinders, branch heads, all the cool period goodies. 73 inches. Should run mid 11.
The Beast Fired up today!!! Three kicks in. Not really too hard to kick(yea, I'm 150 lbs, and I can just stand on the kicker when it is at compression), but I can get her to kick thru.
Right now I have baffled drag pipes on it. I have a staggered duel system to put on it, but I'm still missing some brackets.
Also, I have a rare S+S GB side bowl carb. It has no choke, and I just could not get it to start with that carb. So I put my old bendix on it. It is really not going to flow enough air for the motor, but it will do for brake in.
If anybody has parts for old S+S side bowls, or wants to trade a GAL, MGAL, ect for a GB, let me know.
Still alot of little stuff to do, and I have to get it out of the basement.
This basket was for sale at Oley last year. I got it a bit after that. With any luck she will be up there running this year.
Pictures....well they should be loading...
