big block streetability,in all seriousness

i would like to run about a 6" over arm, is that out of line?

not at all,im just trying to bait em with mine by keeping it closer to stock looking.turbos and nitrous bottles were dealer installed options in 74 dont ya know! :laugh:

i cant wait to wipe the smile off all these punk kids riding around here. Or roll into the next sportbike parking lot meeting full of new rockets covered in neon and shiny things. Its just an old kaw, i swear

You should think bigger!

You can run 10's with a 1075 with pistons, cams, 29's and a stock head (other then valve springs)

With a big motor you should be going faster, save it for the track..........

You can run mid 9's all day long with under 1015cc if the motor is done right & chassis is setup properly and it doesn't need anything larger than 31mm carbs

But it's not going to run on the street without race fuel, the valve springs will not live a long life and it would be a total pain in the arse to contend with on a daily basis.

No matter what the approach, the first consideration is how much money can be put into the project. It adds up pretty quickly, much faster than the dream to build it turns into reality.

Then let's not forget there's the small matter of the chassis that needs to be gone through :huh:

We have all seen different things and have different experiences in the motorcycle world.

I am talking about pump gas and a stock chassis(WM6 rear wheel) and valve springs that last for years.

I didn't say 1015cc because it requires porting to get into the 10's, however with porting and bolt in cams, it can run in the high 10's(stock 1015 pistons or high compression). I have seen them with bigger Norris cams run 10:38 and be ridden to work five days a week, for years. And is still being ridden to this day........

Our local Kawasaki shop has built and sold many 1075's with only cams, valve springs, valve job, pistons, carbs and header. Nothing fancy but able to run in the 10's. They use a cam that is close to the ones, Jay does with his 1075 (low lift)street motors.

There are many ways to get the job done, it helps to be open minded. Some of the most redneck looking and sounding stuff, can blow you in the weeds.

All I can say, if you build a big block, make sure it will beat small bore motors or you will feel like crap, when everyone laughs at you..........

What is scarier than caca is you have the nads to reccomend anything. A total misfit with a Barney Clark giving advise to people who believe your nonsense. Unbelievable. BTW.....that toilet you replaced for me is now backing up everyday. Wanna stick your noggin into it and have a look see ?:laugh:

btw i cant remember where i came across this picture of somebody's raking method. Does it look safe? Seems kinda like the wrong way of going about doing it.

I have seen this done before, not good or safe. There was a group in my area that did them that way. They do it with a torch and no frame jig. One of the best shops for raking is a place called Jennings Manufactoring. They did the run off work for Kosman(raking, triple frames, Z1 frame brace kits,etc) They chuck up the frame and then mill the head out of it. Then they mill in the new head angle, then stall a new head with bearings, then weld it into place.

They are not a bike shop, they make other stuff but bike parts, help pay the bills. I havn't been there in years, but I have been there 3 or 4 times on field trips.

Well keith, depending on which hole u were used in u could be a very smelly dildo, :laugh:

sry, just tryin to get a laugh out of all

theik is that what that smell is...i thought it was prune juice...or seafoam.......

this thread has been very entertaining .

let me just try to inject my opinion.

it's YOUR motor. build what you want.
we ride big cc bikes here and no one has melted down yet.
but they are also NOT daily drivers. ( well not anything over an 1105 )
more cc's mean less gas mileage and a motor that will not last as long, that is the bottom line.

we ALL have a bike we ride to work or whatever.
owning one bike just sucks.

we have a member here that has a bad ass 1200 he flogs the hell out of.
anyone remember riveman?
more money in his bike then i could ever afford.

i guess it's a personal choice here and neither side is right.
we have the guys who think anything but stock sucks ( you all know ron :laugh: )
and we have the performance guys.

we all should be happy we have larryc and apejay and lorcan as members.

why are we bitching about petty crap all ready?
much too soon for cabin fever to be setting in.




btw, here is rivman's bike

Yeah Steve.....Joey's bike is the caca.......heck when I visited with him he offered it to me to ride. I declined for certain reasons but his bike is the stuff. And I have pics too. One thing that makes his bike very special...........no idiot from KZR had anything to do with it.:laugh:
