Persistence will wear down resistance .
The following photo's and descriptions are the Cycle X race bike built for the super competitive vintage heavyweight class in AHRMA
Throttle threads gave us a helping hand. The sweet paint work was done by our two most favorite painters in the whole wide world, Wes and Cliff!
Cycle X team at Road
America ( Elkhart lake )
Matt Joy from Chicago drove the bike.
To build a bike like this............ a little help was needed ( thanks to all )
Left side ( after the race
)
Notice the Cycle X charging system. Most bikes run a total loss system. We felt more comfortable with a charging system going six 4 mile laps.
Super Motard wheel was used in the rear and 17 inch Sun rim was laced to the front. ( Bridgestone tires )
Ten thousand is the red line.
Speaking of red-line !!!!!!!
Any questions ?
Did you notice the modified frame backbone??? Well, we had to make room
for the carbs with our super duper fancy schmansy hi-perf hot dog race
head 18 degree raised intake ports.
I am glad we decided to use exposed charging system rather than the dog shit encrusted stator on the cart!
Race day is just around the corner, no time to work on anybody else's crap.
Oh so close to completion! Just waiting for the pipe to get back from being jet hot coated.
Right now your thinking to yourself, "damn that bike looks fast!" Well, you sir are correct!
Notice the oil cooler lines running along the side of the motor? We had them along the lower frame rails, but nearly had them rubbed through in our first race. Those guys really lean over!
Here you can see the angle of the intake ports and how high it pushed the carbs. We had to dish the underside of the tank, tip the back of the tank up, and move the petcock to the front of the tank to get them to fit.
