Gidday everyone and a new bike to look at.

[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.

[Dadpole]

Feckn' hell. I look forward to seeing that out on the road.

BTW: Welcome to KB

[Disco Dan]

[cowboy]

[Trudes]

Hi, welcome, and my god that thing is huge!!!! (Just what every male likes to hear at least once!). There's a song from a movie that goes.. "You're too big to fit in here, too big to fit in here..." :sunny:

[chanceyy]

[apteryx_haasti]

Hi, welcome, and my god that thing is huge!!!!

Funny - that's just what I was thinking!

Welcome to the site, nice work you've done there.

[JimO]

looks great from the back and side but errr the fronts a tad ugly

[Cajun]

awsome work man.

Look nice and shinny

[Crisis management]

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!!:Punk:

[skelstar]

Well you should def bring that thing along to the 1/4 mile sprints on the 11 Feb...Carterton.

[surfer]

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?

[vifferman]

Welcome!
Good job on the bike, Dude!
Just keep your sensitive bits away from all them yeller wires....:shit:

[outlawtorn]

thats an amazing bike dude, well done on getting it this far, I'll lok forward to seeing it some of the runs in the not too distance future?

[Coyote]

That is incredible...

I like the painted radiator

Welcome to the site :2thumbsup

[Thunder 8]

Thanks for your comments and to answer a few questions its about 307 ci with hi com pistons, isky cam, eidebrock manifold holley 4 barrell etc etc and i have a Nitrous kit to fit yet to add a further 75 to 150 hp depending on which nozzles i use(dont know if the nads will stand up to that yet haha) The bike actually handles pretty good for a big bastard and is as stable as a rock at high speed (gently up to 220kmh so far as still running in) and has worked out better than i thought it would. Its an Lvvta and yea the certification was a bit of a pain in the ass but got it sorted ok building it was a lot harder.
The distributor wires crack everyone up and yea could be a bit shocking in the wrong spot. Radiator is modified aluminium vn commodore and the red bit is anodised mesh.
Thanks again for your great comments
cheers AJ.:scooter:

[WickedOne]

Good on ya mate, looks farking awesome!!!!! :rockon:

[bistard]

HOLEY SHIT,that is bigger than a big thing!!
Are you sure that tiny little rear tyre is going to be ok??
It might be abit rude,but what does it weigh
FANTASTIC JOB!!!!

[ManDownUnder]

Mate I'm torn - I don't normally go for custom bikes - just personal taste and all that but... that... that I like!

Looks good man!

[crashe]

WOW........... that is awesome.





Just one question thou...
Can you change the yellow wires to RED?

Then the wires wont stand out so much.... RED ones will fit in with the bike's colours.

[Thunder 8]

Howdy yea the wires are prob going to change to red, big tyre and rim will come later its already sucked up a lot of money, weight is prob round 600kgs will weigh it soon but on the road its suprisingly nimble(mind you so are some tanks lol). you just dont give it a big rev while your sitting still as the torque reaction is Huge.

cheers
AJ.

[WRT]

Wicked bike there mate, you've still got the number plate readable in one of the pics tho.

Be wicked if you could find a curved radiator for it, might flow with the lines of the bike a bit better (just my opinion I guess). All in all though, a great effort, can really see how hard you have worked on it to bring it to such a high level of finish.

[Thunder 8]

Cheers for that all fixed.i suppose it doesnt matter but you never know.

[The Stranger]

Awesome work sir.

Hope the HT leads are well connected to the cap or the old fella's going to be sore for a week.

[Jimmy B]

You are a genius mate, looks incredible.

600kgs @ 220kph ...what type of stoppers have you got?

[Thunder 8]

The stoppers are just dual piston caliipers but better ones will come later with planned flash rims etc.Perhaps a parachute will help hahaha.

[Warr]

That is some bike.
Interested in your gearbox [with a custom built single speed]. How does that work ?

[Alice]

Very cool, yu could bring it along to the chicks and dicks ride on the 6th if you where interested. Waiarapaites meet the top of the Takas 10.15am Welletony'ins meet 10.00am BP norf of Upper hole, I mean Hutt. It seems there may be 20 or bikes interested so far.
Would be interesting to see it in the flesh.
Lissa is cheif in charge of this ride if you want any more detail.

[Lissa]

Hi, Wow nice bike!! :)

Check Meetings and events forum... Us Wairarapa Riders have a Wednesday Night ride every week, and we are organising a ride on the 6th (tuesday) around the wairarapa.... you are welcome to attend if you like.

Hahaha Alice.. Chicks and Dicks Ride!! :shutup:

[Thunder 8]

Warren its a single speed forward wih reverse (and neutral) can get away with this with a v8 because theres so much torque and it works really well. I set the gearing for approx 100kmh at 2000 rpm so it criuises nice.Took it up gently to 4500rpm the other night and its pulling like a train at that so will be interesting when its fully run in.
cheers
AJ.

[Thunder 8]

Alice and Lissa. Thanks the rides a definite possibility will see how it goes and might be there.
Cheers
AJ.

[Switch]

[skidz]

[Madness]

I saw your bike up at the Summit carpark yesterday. Beautiful job in design & build and a credit to yourself.

I'd love to see (and hear) you & the beast at the Cliffhanger Sprints later in the year.

[Bruiser]

Man that is one nice ride! I too have the big bike/v8 thing, tho I have to get off one and into the other, your's seems imminently more impressive!

Congratulations!
