Lurker's V-twin build

[Lurker]

Thanks for the kind words and support. I will do my best to be more involved on this site but it's hard to stay involved here when I don't feel like I have any projects or new information to contribute. However I can assure you I'm always lurking on this forum

I did a quick photo shoot the other day and it just occurred to me that I haven't posted any photos of the old V-twin since I power coated the wheels. I'll post these for now but I have a ton of photos that I'll post later.

P.s. Don't do burnouts on Simplex tires... they wear really fast. That was the first and last one I promise.

Such a cool bike, the sound of that motor must be awesome. You have and video of it winding up good?

Bottom pic. Have you added a form of rear suspension? I see bracketry along the seat stays that I havnt seen before.

I think that's probably just the drop stand in the up position...

These here T shirts, have you considered a Vekst one? Get someone else to pay to advertise your products.

Hey guys, here are a few more photos. Just some detail stuff.

Velodrome, that's just the rear stand as Mr. B had stated.

Ludwig II, I have two Vekst shirts in the store a black one and a white one I will get a few more up eventually. I'm not a business man I'm just trying to share what I love with others. I didn't see any cool looking btr shirts for sale so I thought I would make a few.

Did you ever find out how fast it would go? I watched some of your older stuff on youtube.

 

[Lurker]

I have no idea how fast this bike is. I would assume it's good for 90mph+ based on my experience. I've had it up to about 65 and it could cruise at that speed all day with no problem.

The engines are also used in Rutan Quickie planes.

Lurker,
Your recent post on
facebook is something I'm glad you did. Not the usual cheap motorized bicycle, but the inspiration for a few builder/motorcyclists who can see the brilliance and engineering it took to build a Vanguard powered bike.
