CBX1000 a "Superbike"?

my 1926 indian scout had one of those and my vincent twin

Odd I would have assumed they both as std had dynamo's...
I seem to remember Bert Munro's Indian came with carbide lighting as he didnt want to $$ up spec to a generator....

Well Spyder's a fancy pants and probably got the RR model.

Your mate could pass you a beer through the middle.

No airbox of pod filters - I'm guessing runs like shit and is more for looks than anything else

generators actually,
but that doesn't alter my point does it?

I cant think think of many dynos that were not piggy back? twins like BSA triumphs matchless/ AJS Velos etc plus the pre-units singles of the main makes , aside for some Villiers and maybe other 2 smokes.
That Indian is pretty cool though engineering wise, with its geared primary , years ahead of its time
By all account very well engineered and decent materials , gearbox was strong enough for the 90hp or whatever Bert had.

yip, and people pat the japanese on the back for thinking of it first..... i had a Z1300 CBX6 GS1000 and CB900 in my shed for a long time together, the overall width of the motors was differnt by milimetres due to them mocing their electrics.

Fancy pants? my mrs was only talking last night of me wearing matching y fronts for my trousers as half the time I can't even keep my fly up.

Pretty sure the altron alternators for Vincent's etc were based on a Kubota mini tractor .I was eyeing up the tiny sub 20 amp alternator on my Ride on as it looks like it would fit into the core of my lucas dynamo.

leaving the mag free if I converted to battery coil for a starter motor the semi unit BSA doesn't have the room for a electric state like a Goldstar or pre unit A10 does underneath. to b honest though I think the ride on ones could easily fit under the primary like the last model rare Alternator A10's
or I could finish and just ride the thing .....

dont know altron, alton are in the image of the original miller unit, similar to the lucas of the era
