Welcome to the Worldwide V8 Bikers Forum

Rick was a good guy, I'm sorry to hear this. May he rest in peace and his family find comfort in their memories.

$679.99?????????????????????????????????????????? I could buy a new battery every year during it warranty. Paul H Except the lithium will last A LOT longer along with a list of other plus'. You can find them cheaper Paul or you can find them for more money. It's choices just like $15 for a qt of oi...

I just replaced a battery myself, I decided to try a lithium battery. Weight savings is HUGE (aprox 7 pounds = 1 HP ) and CCA is a lot higher too. Here is a link to one, I'm sure there are others out there. https://www.billetproofdesign.com/antigravity-batteries-rs-30-lightweight-performance-lithium...

What are the 502 guys running for carbs?? Got a 750 demon and don't like the carb.. mileage is crap and runs rich as hell You could try and tune your Demon but it will always be a POS in my opinion . I don't like the Demon carb and their QC is about even with ZILCH. When we built my 383 (over 500hp...

NASA1, I'm surprised you didn't hook-up w/ Barry Radu from Destination Cycles out in Canada. That couldn't be really that far from Seattle. Just my 2 cents. 25 miles OR 700 miles ... I guess not too far is subjective. I always do my own work. For somebody that doesn't want to or can't for whatever ...

Very sad news, Harold was a super great guy. we've had a few laughs together and I feel privileged to have known him. RIP Harold

14 Years already Bill!!!! WOW ... time sure goes fast! I know what it takes to organize an event and I appreciate the effort and time you devote to this ride. PS Remember one of the early rides, may have been the first even ... Crazy Rick and I ran "traffic control" :rofl: WIA may have bee...

The problem I see with any law abiding citizen no matter how well they are trained and no matter how good a shot they are when the time comes and the shit hits the fan are they going to have the willpower and the guts to shoot the gunman . We've all heard stories of people having buck fever when it...

If it was known that any teacher could possible be armed would and incident like this even occur at all. If someone is planning an attack but doesn't know how many people are armed and can fight back seems they would be hesitant to go through with it at all. Shane - I believe you are 100% correct. ...

Just like Mr. Trump say, FAKE NEWS. They're just trying to pad their point. Gonna ask a question, does anyone know "why" freedom of gun ownership is in our constitution ??????????? First correct answer gets nothing. Paul H It's in the constitution because our forefathers were brilliant me...

As a Royal Marines commando vet of 22 years service I cannot understand the gun fascination some people have. What I do understand is, if you made guns illegal in the US tomorrow the bad guys would keep there’s and the nutters in the world still do what they do. It is illegal to carry a knife in th...

Tired of the anti gun activists led by Bloomberg spreading their lies ...

I agree that a carb can run as clean as efi to a certain extent. Carbs rely on physics, yes and no. The carb will run as clean as efi when properly tuned for a CERTAIN elevation. That's it. It may work ok at different elevations but not as good as when it was tuned at X elevation. You see the jets ...

Carbs aren't horrible at all. They can run as clean as EFI, but need to be tuned to do it - by a competent tuner. EFI has code written by those tuners so that it can adjust based off of conditions. So, if you can really tune a carb, you'll be fine, you'll be better than fine. If you can't tune a ca...

It could easily can be a kit bike ... the year is not assigned until the bike is first registered. I have never built a BH kit bike but I have built a few other customs in my time. Example like I had a 1995 HD frame (with title of course). I could have registered it as a 1995 Harley or a 2005 Custom...

John -

Really sorry to hear about your accident. Hang in there buddy, your tough. Our thought and wishes for speedy and full recovery are with you.

Don

I reckon I came across as a whiner? Just had to vent a little. I'll probably end up deleting this thread. Keep your eyes open out there and don't try to run over other riders. Yep, you sort of kind of ... on second thought you DO. "DICKS" come in every single variety of rider and non ride...

Last I heard from Joe he sold his V8 and got in Trumph in line 4 bikes,,,,,Think he spent a ton on go fast parts, turbo etc......... Long time since we talked He just sent this today. "I just bought a KTM Superduke 1290 GT.. You talk a bout a BLAST for a bike!450 lbs....173 hp and 107 lbs torq...

All of them I remember seeing were down 1/4" or better (trikes and bikes). I remembered seeing one @ the V8 Parade last week that was up above the top of the tubes (it was a trike but don't remember anything more then that).

Thanks guys. Paul, yes he did sell his stroker bike a few years ago. Jeff, glad he got another bike!! Maybe the email I received was legitimate then?

That's too bad Dave, was looking forward to seeing you again ... never a dull moment!

Hope everything works out for you, another time ... Daytona isn't going anywhere.

Thanks Don , I bought these zoomies reasonable and I plan oN some mods that will require some cutting and welding . I want them to point kinda straight up like Bruces , tucked in kinda tight with slash cut ends and ceramic coated black . With some work I think they will look wild to use for special...
