    Kiwi made V8 Bike.Thunder 8.

    Thought you might be interested to see my project that i have been building for the last 2 years. I have just completed it and put it on the road.
    The bike has a small block chev with about 300 hp (have NOS to fit yet as well) with a custom built single speed with reverse and a manual power assisted clutch,boss hoss front end etc and has worked out very well.
    cheers. AJ.

    That looks great, a ton better than the "Boss Hoss" monstrosities they do in the states!
    How far is it bored out? out to 307 cubes or just an oversize? More details please!!!
    How about the ride report? I don't expect a lot about the handling but a 1/4 mile time should be interesting!


    Well bloody done!!

    Awesome looking bike. Well done dude.

    Can you tell us a bit more about the specs (not just the engine)? Also what does it ride like? Did you have any bother getting through LVVTA?
