No confederate flag seat. But plenty of Dukes power.

bikes...??? mudderbikes???
been riding since before man stood on the moon :eek:

first road bike... after a series of traillies (GF at the time had a 175 Yammy)
seriously.. a bad bike. front drum brake, cross ply ribbed tyres and 115mph
no brakes and it tossed you off if you went around corners too fast .. :p

have had a number of bikes (mainly) Kwakas, ridden lots though...from
Highly Dangerous to italian Duce steeds to Bimmers. But the pick of the
crop is my current ride...

Kawasaki ZX12R A1 (unrestricted with 360kmh speedo) hyper bike....
quick bike ex factory.. turns 9s for the quarter and goes under the PI
main straight bridge at 280 (speedo indicated) still accelerating :)

Kawasaki Triples go like a bastard if you fit a decent electronic ignition and and set of chambers with a decent port job. I know a bloke who makes a sick ignition for the triples. Rotor weighs like 40-50 grams and retards nice and early. He tried making the same one work on my RD but after hours and hours of trying it just wouldn't rev up properly on my bike.
I ended up having to fit option two, which was a KX 80 flywheel with trick black boxes.

Bloke who built my RD engine has a sick 750 triple on an outfit, with big-arse chambers, on an outfit you go go really large, because you don't have to tuck them up like you do on a standard bike. Steve Dent won the State Titles at Mallala on 750 triple running alcohol built buy Neville Lush. The bike was sick power wise and it went better than Honda 750s that have had $25k poured into the engine.

Never ridden a cruiser or that style of street bike, always ridden sports bikes so this’ll be a learning curve lol
