Ill try! Gotta find a good spot i don't think my neighbors are very motorcycle friendly. Surely not 4-1 megaphone burnout friendly.

Picked up a master link and Checked up on my seat, should be done by end of the week. It is looking sweet.

Got my seat! Two day turn-around, for $225. I like it. Feels like your in the cockpit!!

Love it

Love that bike, Samsonite. I have a red '82 with a megaphone that some say needs repacking. I'm thinking about going in the opposite direction.

I had a '73 Z1 with a 4-into-1 pipe. Outside a bar where this girl hung out, I blew the baffle out onto the road (women!). I retrieved the baffle (two perforated plates connected by a pipe), but never re-installed it. I became one of those loud guys, though I was respectful of my immediate neighbors.

Bare with me: what is that tube coming out just below the front cams and going around back? Got to be some sort of oil line, right?

PLEASE preserve those side covers and the tank. They're worth so much.

What do you estimate your 1/4 mile, top speed, hp and torque numbers are?

Air-cooled superbikes of the '70's and early '80's ROCK!

Thanks Rob. Ill definitely be keeping the cosmetics in nice shape. That tube is an exhaust cam oiler. Before they came out with the intake/exhaust cam setup.

COuldn't give you absolutely accurate info but prev owner told me he was running 6.7's in the 1/8th @120, with a 285lb rider. HP has got to be somewhere between 140-170 depending on cams.

Seat looks really good,fits like a glove lol

Well i didn't have anyone to get a burnout shot today but i did get a ride in!! I am very impressed with the power of this engine. I bet it runs right with my ZX9. I did have a problem with i believe 3rd gear popping out, not really under acceleration but more-so getting on and off the throttle.

Shouldn't the 1327 be a big block, or can a stock block be bored that big? I may be wrong, but that looks like a stock block to me.

[Samsonite]

Stock block with oversized sleeves.

I see another problem; that back tire is very slick


Nice bike, I can only imagine the power.

Bike was a hoot the couple passes i made up the road. Deafening loud and pulling every gear very hard. Not much traction in first few clicks

[blowerbike]

going off of memory the slick should be around 12 psi give or take..

Good to know. It's dry rotted so once i find a good place to do it, its going to be melted off and replaced with a street tire.
