Re: Steff's xs #7 Electrics Box...
You are right, Mr Bear, so the experts say - why pod filters usually cut power levels..
A short length of s/s tube between filter and carb helps, apparently, to smooth out air flow.
I suspect the length varies on the carb/engine - on the VMax, the best length is 80mm!

Re: Define this
That would do it
Often bemused by people's definition of 'chopper', 'bobber' 'custom' etc.
(I don't really care what you call it - fixing a label to a bike is as bad to me as insisting that a particular brand is necessary)

Re: HD Dealer Tricks
Common sales technique - reinforce the 'unique' experience you will get if you own one of (insert item here).
Sometimes I think that I like the 'idea' of riding (when I neglegt to ride my bike very often, that is).

Re: Amen CB750 & CB750 Trike
Heard nothing but good things about Mike's work - well engineered, and well built.
Like the sound of a really powerful gocart!
My trike is a 70's US classic called a Stires, and one day soon it will be back

Re: Wide backside bobber
Interesting, a lot of work in that.
Reading the write up on the Night Rod Special, evidently the key to cornering a bike with a big rear and small front is to come into the corner gently, then put the boot in on the way out.
Not sure the Trumpy has the power for that though..

Re: Solar Power
All good, something to remember though.
One wind turbine @ 2Mw = 2000 1kw solar systems.
(45 at Hallett Stage 1)
And there are becoming more available grid interactive, low noise wind turbines for domestic use..

Re: What bike should i use to build this?
It is a Z series Kawasaki, as some of the guys said before. Early 80s Z650/Z750 had that style of casings, also the GT750 (shaft drive). The casings were re used in the late 80s to produce the ZR750 (Zephyr), which was used as far as the late 90s, the bike bearing little resemblance to the 80s versi...

Re: Swag recommendations
I use a swag - quite bulky, but comfortable enough. Sar Major Brumby - 1 up from a biker swag, in canvas. PVC will fall apart long before a canvas, provided canvas is not stored damp that is. Only thing I don't like - it has open ends (not all do). Biker swags usually have a very thin matress, hence...

Re: Metal cafe racer tank wanted
Define 'cafe'
I have seen a few that use a CX500 (maggot) Shadow tank, for something a little different.
And Prof could build a seat easily enough..
