Re: Boss Hoss V12 project

That baby is a Marvel to behold Frank! how about a few specs on the AM V-12? HP? Torque?

So far, you are the biggest dog on the block!

Nice work.

Re: Welcome Squirm

Hey Dave... Still getting my 'sea legs' on this site. Hard to type with the Photo reverse of what we are used to. White on black. However, that is minor. I'm guessing we'll see more European content and other international content on here. Say WM... how do I post pics, and Avatar on here. I've reduc...

Re: LS2, changing the alternator belt

Thanks Olaf.

I was considering repainting, as I have damage to my paint... so I thought I might address the Gas tank issue first.

Re: Electric fuel shut off valve

I'm looking into a 12 DC Refrigeration solenoid to do this job. They are usaully N.O. (Normally Open). I'm thinking 14 guage wire will suffice. it only draws about .8 amps. usually they are a 'sweat' fitting (brass that needs to be brazed) However, I think I may have found a threaded (Flare) valve. ...

Re: LS2, changing the alternator belt

Hey Olaf, what are the specs on your gas tank? I like the looks of it, over the stock tank. How many gallons? Does it interfere with the Distributor? Can you get at the Distributor with the tank still on? I can't see your guage layout because your sweetie's arms are blocking their view. Who makes th...

Re: Rough Idle ...

Your bike almost sounds like my 502. I would have posted a clip of mine idling on your thread... to show just how similar they sound. But maybe that's rude to do that.

Re: 10 minute Boss Hoss and R1 Video

I'm diggin' that video clip BIG TIME Bryan! I should figure a way to rig up MY video camera. Too bad it's so close to non-riding season. But that'll give me a winter to figure out a mounting system.

Re: Crazy Rick

I did meet CR at Sturgis, but he had his hands full with supporting STan and the boys at the V-8 Chopper site. It's interesting that he and I spoke like strangers on the street, other than Brothers on V-8 bikes. Likely due to his commitment to his task at hand, and the need for the friends I showed ...

Re: Hot for Teacher

My Kindergarten teacher looked a lot like her. Likely the reason why I didn't quit school at a young age. I'm guessing that's why my Dad was the first Father to actually attend 'Parent - Teacher' interviews back in the early 60's. It's all good... especially when the teacher 'held me back' after sch...
