Just a few of the zillion drawings I've done to figure out how I'm going to build the new frame.

This time around, we go International!
I reach out all the way from Across The Pond to get by with a little help from my friend.

I'm getting more comfortable riding the Juggernaut & having much...

Did some work on the Drag Bike:

At the very least, watch it to see if I hurt myself!

I put the suicide in Suicide Clutch. :rolleyes:

One last piece to take care of before I attempt to pilot this beastie!

Time to get to Choppin'!
Isn't that really what it's all about?

I've always had one buddy or another that rode an FJ, but like most, I dismissed it as an "old man's tourer". I was actually shopping for a Katana 1100 (so I could stick with Suzuki & some of the...

Dropped Episode 2 today! :)
This is where I start to have fun.

I'm putting together a video-documentary on YouTube on my next dual-engine motorcycle build: The F'n Juggernaut - based on the FJ1200 (see what I did there... F & J?!?) :o

Going through old files on my hard drive and I stumbled across these sketches and measurements I made before I made the jackshaft. It's hilarious to me, because some of it even I don't understand...

If I may make a suggestion, as Tattooo had also pointed out, check for air leaks BEFORE you start drilling. It's something super simple and something you can do right now.

Get the bike warmed up...

Video of how the chains were routed.
This was just a mock-up, before I built the jackshaft. The sprockets are just laying on the axle.

Ok - it's super weird that it won't start ON the choke, but let's deal with that 2nd... honestly sounds like you've got a cracked rubber carb boot (or boots). So here's what I'd do. 40º (in my...

As a reference, the Suzuki GS1100E used the same BS34 Mikuni's (just 4 of them). Here's a video of me starting my drag bike -no air box - no pods - in 40ºF. Note that I have to pull the choke,...

I agree with what Tattooo says, everything you're saying sounds normal for a bike that's had the air box removed.
Not to say you can't get the bike running and starting easily with pods, but a...

Going through some old videos I'd posted up to YouTube & found this gem.
After a little carb tweaking, she was a 1-kick bike:

Thanks!
Wait 'til you see my bike for 2021 Bonneville Motorcycle Speed Trials! :eek:

Fast forward 3 weeks and I was in full thrash mode. I bent a tail piece to keep the Salt from spraying all over my back, built up the seat area and cut the foam and wrapped it in...

So I had both engines running at the same time. Chained them together with my home-made jackshaft. Spliced 3 different chains together. Cobbled about a MILE of wiring together and then zip tied a...
