Dave,

Is that your Sportster? What were the times?

This is tedious, Can you see this? Harlan, what tree in what box where? I'm really not this stupid, but I don't follow directions well.

Hi Dave, It worked and your photo of the motorcycle appeared in your post.

This is the the little tree I was refering to -



After you click it a box appears and just paste your URL in it.

The photo is from 1979 at Bonneville. My close friend Mike and I worked with the owner Robert for ten years going racing. It is his handbuilt bike, an 82" Shovelhead, Hilborn fuel injection, Air Research turbo, fastest time 201mph, record 193. It held several records in the class APSAB-2000 over a number of years. It has run a string of 196s as well. Usually 187 right off the van. The Long Course sticker in one run each year. It started out as a 96 incher but the piston speed was too high and it would stick pistons, a huge problem with all that plumbing. Each pipe has 4 point flanges with expansion joints, 12 point 5/16th nuts and everything safety wired. Anyway he went back to stock stroke and it dropped to 82 inches and ran like a tank. It would pull 6700 rpms and handle 18+lbs of boost. Kendall oil and alcohol.

Didn't mean to hijack the thread. But I am a bike guy. I looked to fast and saw the tank. Should have looked at the heads.

"82" just one year back from AMF, thank god. I have owned a bike of some sort since Oct 1965. Harley's since 1971. Currently an Ultra Classic.

Thanks for the info.

Jim

I built and rode a 77" stroker '66 magneto Sportster for 20 years. S&S flywheels, Dytch barrels, XLR valves, Sifton minus-minus cams, collars and keepers, S&S GAL carb. 440lbs and very fast.
My youngest was born in 1985 and I didn't want to end up on the grill of some drunk illegal, so I ended that phase. Besides by that time you couldn't ride drunk anymore and helmets were coming. We specialized in TT riding (Tavern to Tavern).
