MikedaddyH Posted January 10, 2016 Report Posted January 10, 2016 I loved the damn stock mirrors. They were the first factory mirrors, I ever owned, that were actual useful. The were clear as a bell at ANY speed. I racked up 30K miles in one year on the 12. The bike and I were taken out 20 months ago. Tee boned by an idiot left hand turning cager. That story is a whole nuther thread!cager alt meaninghttp://cager.urbanup.com/7072155While sitting in traffic ! LoL

beantown Posted January 11, 2016 Report Posted January 11, 2016 Lefthand turn usually proves to be fatal,glad you survived bro.I also ride.I bled out twice that night, completely flat lined. So actually it was fatal and twice to boot. As my Trauma Nurse says "I survived a double vehicular homicide.". I'm living proof that miracles do happen.
unforgiven Posted January 11, 2016 Report Posted January 11, 2016 Just wasn't you'r time brother,hope you never have a repeat.

Dane Armory Posted February 3, 2016 Author Report Posted February 3, 2016 know a couple of guys who had cr450 motors in shifter karts........insane!One of my best friends dad built a go kart that had a Yamaha 650cc engine in it.it was scary fast and the brakes sucked.
survivalshop Posted February 3, 2016 Report Posted February 3, 2016 Your panheads? One is still mine , the other is the one I sold & he wanted to have the Tins repainted & while he was at it wanted an Upper end job , so I pulled the upper end & sent it to Kirby at V-Twin performance down here . ( Deland,Fl. , same town as Tactical Machining , but they have nothing in stock ) The Lower end is from my 65 & I had a Valve Guide leaking also & come to find the bottom end was gone also , so I took the whole Motor to him for refreshing , New Valves ,Guides , Springs ( was getting coil bind with this Cam ) , .30 over breather , S&S connecting rods & Pistons ( to go along with the S&S stroker fly wheels ), all new lower end bearings. I was getting odd oil pressure readings & changed to a new Billet S&S oil Pump , but it was too late , evidently I already lost the Pump & it did a nice job on ruining a motor that only had 350 miles on the clock . Not sure what is bad on the original pump ( cast Iron ) but I should have upgraded when I had the motor done years ago . All new again , I may just keep this one . & no , its not stock !
392heminut Posted February 3, 2016 Report Posted February 3, 2016 Nice ride and it sounds like it's pretty healthy too! That sucks about the oil pump, I've had my issues with those old pumps too.

jtallen83 Posted February 10, 2016 Report Posted February 10, 2016 Memories! My first dozen stitches came from an incident that would have looked very similar to this picture, still have the scar on my forehead :-)
geistacwm Posted February 10, 2016 Report Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) Way too few chops, way too many billet barges and zipperdos. Allow me to remedy. Because fucking Merica. Edited February 10, 2016 by geistacwm
