Back in the 50’s, school boys would dream of having a little motorcycle. This one is a beaut. Then we grew older and bigger. We end up with Harleys in the 60’s and 70’s…Then cut them down to look light and nibble..The subconscious drive to capture the past dream…
We don’t normally promote… Well, we’ll make an exception in this case. A good cause, a good ride. Participate if you can…..Tanks!
Ever wonder what magic is performed to make a stroker? ..Well, it ain’t magic. You cut the pistons for clearance and cut the cylinder spigot for rod clearance. Some guys do this with a file…Been there, got the Tee shirt….Melon Makin 'em fit!
These are Flathead Power, Big Twin cylinders.. Notice how the cooling finn’s go all the way to the barrel flange? This is for strength.. they really don’t do much for cooling. These are the preferred cylinders to use when building a hot rod big twin. Too bad Flathead Power sold out to S&S. S&S hasn’t made any since the purchase. Now these cylinders are “unobtainium”. Breaks my flat headed heart.
