stuff

some tinkering with fellow knucklehead. got the 24mm intake manifold fabricated. also STILL had to hack and weld the Simonini to fit. Pedal clearance? forget about it

80 metra ported to the heavens and freshly rebuilt.  The wiring is still not done

On the left are Tomos brakes. On the right are Puch. huge difference

the recent rain storms have passed and hasn't rained for 3 days here in california. We ride soooooon soon

malossi manifold

knucklehead Bryans manifold. Its pretty rough right now but seals well though. 21mm id going on Alukitty with malossi 4 petal, simonini pipe, 21 dell race. ripper for sure

shiny new things that are rat as fuck

New Knucklehead build. Eric picked up this baby last week. Magnum frame from Shaw and Colby. 80 metra, Simo, 24 Mikuni flatside, super secret clutch, other secrets shhhhhhhhh, backyard ingenuity, elbow grease    yada yada yada

maybe some paint???

all in the details

I know you've seen too many kits from the factory or from shipping or from whatever with casting defects, warped barrels, factory porting gone too far into the stud holes, misaligned iron bores, bent skirts, asymetrical transfer timing, other random terribles yada yada yada i guess quality control isnt what it used to be. some of the things i do to EVERY kit since my first kit is the ring gapping, chamfering, leveling flanges for airleaks, strong wiring and other secret piston mods. Cant stress these ones enough boys and girls. Little attentions to detail will either make or break your bike. Too important to overlook because if ya dont know do some research!  so kiddies prep your kits properly, and they will love you. ive been reading 2-stroke handbook recently cant ya tell?!

For all you cheap bastards  myself included. thanks Gordon Jennings!

DoubleTreated!!

 Double Treated! The best part was the random Bonnie Raitt Tape that they included in the box! awesome. I HEART Treats!! im soo gonna keep this forever

 Treats are here! Shipping is light speed with those guys. sweet little Malossi 4 petal and some plug wire and some gaskets.  I still wann run the Polini set up, but this no petcock issue is seriously making me think twice. Ah well. I guess i gotta make a manifold proper.

Treats on the way!! YAY! getting another 4 petal and other little things.

First post! a couple years late on the bloggy thing, but many great things to come
