One good bump in the road would see the front fender hitting the radiator.

And the exhaust is a bit gay. Needs propper headers.

Ah, that explains a few things. Captain slow.

Too many V8 bikes nowadays. Good on them I guess but what for? Originally it was to be different, now they are just copycats.

Going great, charging problem seems to have fixed itself, must have just been a bad connection somewhere.

But what I meant was, mine sounds alot like a V8 at lower revs.

Id say they would stiffen the suspension up, other wise the frame would be sitting on the ground with that motor in there. As for headers, huggers might fit but anything else would stick out right where the legs need to be. Boss Hoss in aussie have also been making 350 chev powered bikes for quite some time. biggest issue they reackon is the torque twist, snap the throttle on to fast and its liable to lay itself down. However the guy that test rode it reackoned it had the best "traffic light blip" No matter what the other guy at the lights had, on a v8 bike you can be sure who has the biggest nuts.
