    If it had 4 valve Krauser heads it would be that for sure, I guess the market will decide.

    This guy is sounding a little like our "Boat tail" mate up in Paihia. Is advertised as a Harley Davidson, but the only bit from HD would seem to be the 4 spd gearbox casings.
    Prob quite nice in the flesh tho but will be hard to sell at that price. Maybe sound out Jay Leno?

    The quintessential Airhead, doesn't get any better than this
    I won't be rushing out to sell my R90/s for it... If I wanted early 80's glam its Ducati all the way

    He has a Norton for sale, brand new, as well. He says it is a 2014 but will be registered as a 2017 model? Sounds a bit off...

    He is up front about it, unlike the 1998 900ss sold to me as a 2001 by now defunct bike shop in Penrose.
    Priced ok but rather have a thruxton , but with two speeding tickets in two months on 45 year old bikes maybe 50 hp is enough for me

    I have a book called "Superbikes of the 70's" and one of those is in it. Cool but not $35k cool.

    He has a K1 for $8500 which is cool AF too

    Because we understand each others differences & accept them.

    The one with the low frontal shot of a CBX6 on the cover?

    Can't imagine Drew would have the attention span to get a shot out
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    he looks

    Hello Engine... The whole reason for doing the bike was because I wanted a Unit/Magneto conversion motor. There is only only a handful around and no one would sell me theirs. So I made my own (there’s a ton of earlier posts on that process)
    The crank is a Bonneville with a light flywheel, @dirtyshirtrichter saved the thrashed one I had, grinding the journals and dynamically balanced it. Later Rods and a Johnson mild race cam with a small valve head from a 63 TR6. 10:1 forged pistons. Black diamond valves with a N.O.S Webco spring kit. Crankcases were updated to the post 1970 breather arrangement. The rebuilt Lucas Competition Mag was supplied by @britishswapper Couldn’t have done this without the help of John Ireland who let me raid his parts bins, stood over my shoulder and told my I was nuts but always knew the best way to go about things. I’m sure he’s taught me everything I know, but not everything he knows.

    So there was some factory ones. Or like this you can make your own.
