Welcome to the Worldwide V8 Bikers Forum

Man, Shane...I always knew a Boss could wup those rice rockets!

I've decided to sell my 383 ci stroker Boss Bike. 25K miles on the motor and 50K on the frame. Here is a partial list of the extensive upgrades. Price is $27K..Firm! If interested, call my cell: 201-919-2176. Bike is in NJ. 2000 Small Block Stroker Boss Hoss - 383 ci stroker motor…specs out at 480+ ...

Here are pics of Jeff's work on my front motor mounts. as always, strong, solid and bullet proof. No more leaking intake manifolds. They will be polished when done.

Everything he does is like a bank vault! He is in the process of removing the top motor mounts which keep loosening and producing intake manifold leaks no matter what I've tried. He's doing the frame down tube to the heads routine in SS, of course. He is getting this bike as solid as possible. The t...

My rear fender tabs broke twice (flimsy, dumb design) on my stroker. I asked Jeff to come up with a solution for the problem. Now this is a serious rear fender bracket...Jeff Hemperly style! Ultra strong, polished SS and slotted to fit the frame. I only have to remove the main bolt and the two lower...

Hi Bill.....but why the white smoke from the exhaust? Hope clouds observation! I'd re-torque the heads for sure.

I'm told the V8 choppers hve a plate bolted to the rear of the heads to the frame. I don't know the configuration.
I'm also not sure if they are actually needed.

Tom
I thought I had pics of the setup but can't find them.
Anyone help?

After screwing around with the front motor mounts on my SB stroker for 10 years, even having Jeff Hemperly make heavy SS items...I've had enough. No matter what I've done always problems after a while. The original studs broke and bent twice and the aluminum brackets cracked. I replaced the studs wi...

Jeez!...I never realized there were so many opinions about tires!

I haven't ridden or even started up the Boss stroker in over three months. Yesterday it was 10 degrees here in NJ and I had to drive the bike into the enclosed trailer to bring to Jeff Hemperly for some work. It was in an unheated storage facility and I had my jumper cables with me being certain it ...

Always jealousy about my work! Glad things never change!

You probably have an intake manifold leak. Check the tightness of the front bolts. The arrangement is dumb and uses the same studs for the intake manifold and motor mounts. Happened to me twice! Vibration, eventually loosens them. Of course, check the head bolt torque..if loose, usually the right re...

Mike...Just fabulous! What memories!

This feels like "Old Times"! There is Elliot and Butterfly again! I think I'll have to be here more.
What the fuck...old and probably dying soon I am but this is good fun.

Geez
I hear you! I'm older than you and am tiring as well. Great to see you posting here.
Still riding the Boss on trips in the summer but less exuberance and smaller testicles.
Elliot..still crazy after all these years?...Joe

So many mods! I think the best of them were: 1. Going to the 383 stroker motor with Sanderson headers. It became a killer performer. 2. Replacing the front end with a factory installed late model steering neck and whole front end with inverted forks. 3. Changing to the Mallory fully electronic igni...

Mike Excellent posts. When Israel bombed Lebanon in "retaliation" for the capture of two Israeli soldiers, practically destroying Beirut, I wrote a letter to the editor condemning the attack as excessive and counter-productive to Israel's image and security. Naturally, I was branded as an ...

It never ceases to amaze me the way we have such different experiences with the same product. My NAPA FS-120 fan switch has been in for seven years and 40K miles without any problem. Luck of the draw, I guess. I do like John's idea but just don't zone out in hot weather and forget to look at the tem...

Thanks, Mike and thanks for the Christmas card! I,ve not been on any sites recently. Too much personal bullshit happening. I'm going to try to get more involved again...Joe

Apparenty the link to the other V8 site is broken. Anyone else havimg this issue?...Joe

I fear Harley has been going south for several years. I remember having to order them and not even being told when they would be delivered and not even being told the delivery price! The showrooms are now full...not of people but bikes! I went into my local Harley dealer today (a Taj Mahal) just to ...

Carbmike is a Nutcase!

Carb Mike has a brain that thinks and no longer accepts the drivel we are constantly fed. Read and evaluate without dismissing before doing so!....Joe

Red Loctite solves the issue. Been there so many times but not since the Red....Joe

If the contacts are only slightly oxidized, 2000 grit sandpaper works great! Use contact cleaner after. If they are burnt or pitted..the rotor and cap must be changed. Darryl..I don't know if bad timing does anything to them but I can't see why it should. The spark jumps across in any case which is ...
