Oh Yeah

I was gonna say....sounds like Pete's speaking to us from beyond the grave

Bonified FrankenBike....

A co-worker @ the bike shop I used to work for, had 1 of these.... What a Burly sounding beast it was w/ dual Akro cans Only downside was the dodgy rotary damper in the rear

Exactly.... the wheelbase was as short as my RD 400F....only about 52-3" My MetalFab mate's had a 43 mm carb w/ a V&H pipe....good for about 130 hp

Another possibility is that it's suckin' air somewhere.... @ 1 point I had reseal the intake boot between the carb & the cylinder head. A thin film of Permatex Ultra Black sealant cured the problem.

Those shocks seem like a perfect fit for the situation....

What a kool PowerHouse...

I bagged a ride on 1 of these that my MetalFab mate used to own.... 1st time I rode anything Hardley powered.... it was like riding a 2-Wheeled BigBlock Vette

Beautiful Z1R Zed....

Nice day out there Bob Since we know you're slightly on the vertically-challenged scale ....I can understand why it might be time to part ways with the Donkey. My brother had a '92 DR 650 back when I was still riding my XT 550 alot....& I remember how tall that beast was....he's 6'2" w/ legs up to his neck so the standover wasn't a problem....but the brick-hard seat sure was!

FJR 1300 cut-away....

Mr. Penton on his winning NSU along w/ his better half....

It's a known fact: It's waaay more Fun to ride a slow bike fast than it is to ride a fast bike slow.

Nice one @Saul!....Weatherwise, looks like a beautiful day for a ride.

"Ain't gonna high-side this corner"....

On our way back from Looking Glass creek, the Mrs. & I spotted this fury Beast in the brush not far from the road....

Bleedin' Hot here today....but @ least I dug out my boat from the back of the carport....wash & wax that beast tomorrow.

Steering with the back wheel....

Another good one for the woods...

Definitely had what it takes to be World Champ....gone too soon....terribly missed....
