5 Liter V twin Engine

This is just cool. Craftsmanship and a little imagination can get you a long way. How about a 5 Liter V twin engine based off a pair of Pratt & Whitney R1340 aircraft cylinders. The rest of the engine was hand made. Cast aluminum cases, Hand machined crankshaft and connecting rods. All the engineering proprietary to this build. Ultimately, this engine will wind up in30's board track racer inspired by a "Flying Merkel".

Dania Beach Vintage Motorcycle Show pics 2013

Another Great year at the Dania Beach Vintage show. An awesome collection of old iron and cool people. Here's some pics from the day. Enjoy.

New Parts added to The SHOP

Got some stuff listed in our Parts inventory. A bunch of XS650 goodies as well as a couple good running engines. Some are currently listed on EBAY as well if that makes life a little easier, or just get in contact directly and we'll happily work out the details.

Currently, we have a complete, running, bolt in ready XS650 engine with carbs, ignition, charging system and a bunch of extras.

ELF Honda Race Bikes

Some vintage video of the Elf 2 500cc Moto GP in action. Along with some Eddy Lawson aboard the Yamaha.

The Elf prototype was among one of the most innovative bikes developed in the Late 70's early 80's.  Designed by André De Cortanze and Daniel Tréma for Elf Petroleum. The engine acts as a true stress member with front and rear suspension attached to the engine cases. The suspension design incorporates what is now Honda's signature pro link single sided rear swingarm while the front end is a single sided, hub center steer, double triangulated design inspired from F1 car geometry.   The original prototype was powered by a Yamaha 750 engine. Soon after the original prototype was constructed,  Honda's F1 program approached Elf with an offer to supply a 1000cc DOHC RSC engine to power it's predecessor the Elf "E" for the 1980 Endurance season.

Check out the selection of Progressive Suspension at DennisKirk.com

By 1983 Honda and Elf had developed a 500cc 3 cylinder platform to compete in the Moto GP series where it was campaigned until 1987.

Boldor Yamaha XS1100 Endurance Racer

Ran across this recently and absolutely fell in love with it. If there was one good thing that came out of the '80's it was killer Endurance bikes. Some of the innovations that were dreamed up for suspension and chassis design were engineering masterpieces. Even if the ideas didn't take to the mass market.

Some brief history and specs from members of  http://www.benefiscal.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=3020.0. More pics and discussion can be found there.

Yamaha delivers the latest design from Guy Fior. A machine built according to avant-garde design for a team committed to having a motor bike this year to compete in the World Championship . The biggst difference here is the exchange of the Honda RS engine for a Yamaha 1100. Directly prepared in Japan, and provided by Yamaha Amsterdam with the assistance of Sonauto  (Conk having particular influence with the cycle parts)  This engine delivers approximately 130 hp @ 9500 rpm, and has had it's original shaft final drive system replaced with a more traditional chain.

Good fuelling is ensured by two twin-choke carburettors with horizontal bodies, manufactured by Mikuni under Solex licence. Dual ignition utilises two original electronic systems in parallel. A wet sump lubrication system is retained. However, not all is original: The clutch has a hydraulic control and the gearbox box is of racing type. The original double cradle frame has been replaced for more rigidity, the engine is suspended from the framework by its cylinder head. Side suspension, one finds the original achievements of Conk, with single Koni shock absorber and drives out adjustable by eccentric with the front one. Koni adjustable shock absorber in relaxation and compression also for the back system cantilever. In full race trim with fuel & oil on board, the Conk special tips the scales at 195 kg
