Gimme the keys!!!!!!!!!!!

But it aint a big block mate, or a chopper.

it's a sportster.

Which is why the chain is on the R/H side.

Alright, lets hear your explanation. lol

For reasons unknown to me, but none-the-less,

Big Blocks have the final drive on the left hand side (facing the rear of the bike)

Sportsters have it on the right.

What's the story with the chain being on the wrong side? Is that just what Harley does sometimes or has the pic been reversed?

The original question.

Coz that's how Harley build them.

They also had shifters on opposite sides....back in the 60s before the Yanks made everyone do it all the same (heel click and stiff arm salute,freedom of choice....yeah right) Yamaha dirt bikes of the late 70s and 80s had a right side chain...heaps of YZs with no motors around as they used them in karts,but it was a major to put any other motor into them,I had heaps offered to me,but just couldn't be bothered doing the work to put anything else in.





ok,not heaps,more than one??

Anyone ever put a real XR750 onto the road? (By real XR I mean the all alloy, flat track model).

BTW the exhaust pipes on the Storz are on the wrong side, they should be on the left, Also the XR had two "front" cylinder heads, with 2 Mikuni carbs.

Dont forget the lack of front brakes.

Not on the TT - they did left and right and a jump and had brakes.Ever seen a TT race? I've only seen one I caught on Sky once - it's like a flat MX track and they fucking moooove! The jumps are low and long,very fast - there is a corner after the jump and they throw the bike sideways midair and land fully crossed up midcorner....my jaw just dropped,I've never seen anything so bloody fast and dangerous in my life!! In the 70s they used 750s on the TT tracks,in the 90s the Rotax bikes,dunno what they do now.

Harley had the XR1000 motor - and made a bloody custom out of it!

That's pretty cool, but I have to say, I do still have a soft spot for the Screaming Eagle Mmmm Orange
