I'm sure many have seen this already, but for those who haven't check it out it's very cool.
I actually like the new HD XR1200 and this is basically that but with a bevel-drive 900 in it! [moto]

Seen it some where. [thumbsup] Cool, the whole kneeslider site is full of cool stuff. Thanks.
That is a beautiful bike. I'd love to have one. But the current HD engine puts out more HP than that old Bevel drv. 900.
A well tuned DS 1000 would be hot.

Love it. I really liked the pictures showing how he made the tank.

Current HD engine puts out more power than a '78 bevel drive... there's something for HD to put in the brochures. My '83 GS1100e put out more power than the current HD engines. I think it's about coolness factor. But I would love to see how the DS would make it go... but for coolness points the bevel drive gets the nod.
I like it.
I'd love to mate a 900 motor in some other frame someday...

I think last months issue of Motorcyclist had a sidebar story on that bike along with a Termi modded XR1200(?) in Spain where they are doing a BBQ & Harley race series.
Man, those guys have all the fun over there :)
The fabrication pics were cool. Kinda like American Chopper except with bikes that look good muahaha
i can dig it. [thumbsup]
