AHRMA Vintage Superbike Middleweight Racer

Got the last bucket free on the 750 cylinder head. Started washing the head. So far the gunk and grit is coming out nicely. Need to get some bottle brushes to get the intake ports cleaned up. That's where most of the dirt was located.

Frame is stripped. Haven't made much progress. Friggin cold here and I need to repair my kerosene heater.

Hopefully this will help keep everyone patient...

Pt. 1



Pt. 2

You're not gonna placate us with videos buddy, get to work!! :woohoo:

Suppose I can't complain much to you about the weather, either...damn.

Sure you can, its probably colder there than it is here. I'm in the middle of the ocean, remember. We will be getting 4-8 inches of snow tonight though.

wow!! those 2 Canadian videos really hit home. Shannonville and Mosport are my home tracks. i ride at Shannonville every second week of the summer, and occasionally at Mosport.
Art Robins was our Local hero back in the day. his builders, Frank Lietner and Gord Bush, built my bike the 1st time.i have the carbs (VM33's)off Arts bike on mine for a while.
Michel Mercier runs the track riding school at Shannonville now. thats how i got started riding at the track. i took a class from Michel .

u know that your supposed to take your bike down to the basement to work on it in the winter. or the spare bedroom.

If only I were single...I would have done that already. Don't see that happening with the current home situation, though. And I'm okay with that for now.

I'm not single either, and my wife doesn’t like it, but my bikes still go to the basement for winter work. :lol:

i've tried a few dif methods to get them down the stairs too.. lots of big guys. a trailer winch bolted to a framework at the door way. and last year the best 1 yet. i used my lawn tractor to tow them up and down the stairs. :woohoo:

I've been thinking about this, and I'm wondering I should actually keep the 650 cover with the air injection ports, but fill the injection ports on the head and use them as breather ports for the cylinder head. Any thoughts?

LOL. You're cracking me up over here.

I'm thinking I can probably get the bottom end into the basement once I drain it. Also some random parts to polish. Need to get my work area set up first. Motivation has been lacking - winter is the devil.
