You Betcha ;D. Predictably, I think that bike is a disgrace, a de-engineered piece of shiny crap. ;)

I have the power!!! ;) I knew mentioning 'Dutch TwinShocks' would work - who would have thought it? :o

If you ever end up back in ICU [heaven forbid], don't worry about a defibrillator, just get the Doctor to scream... 'Dutch TwinShocks' and it will get him back and fighting in a heartbeat... ;D

Good to have you back Uncle Firko!!!

Hope you are feeling better...

Weapon is right KB. It's one of the special race versions ... you can tell by the backwards honda logo on the LH Side of the tank ;D

All jokes aside though, it does look kinda cool IMHO

Post by: firko on August 18, 2012, 12:00:43 pm: I've got a similar low mileage 1958 Honda C77 305cc engine that I've been looking to use in a project for years. I initially had it in a Bultaco M11 frame....nah, then in my Cotton Cobra...nah for different reasons and then I tried it in an American Eagle frame which was also rejected. It'd make a great pre '60 project but finding a suitable frame is the challenge.
