Dave, please PM me your dog's cell phone number so she and I can discuss this issue and come to some resolution. I'm sure I've never met your dog, I would remember (I think)....  In the mean time, Stainless Mann please accept a treat (Dave will supply) as a peace offering so you don't bite my head off when we meet...  BTW race fans, we may be putting the Lump in the liner today....  |

About an hour and a half later, the motor is ready...  Oh crap..  the tach drive still needs to go on the front motor. It is the stand alone ignition system I told you about way back when we looked at the automotive coil installation. It just runs the tach... While we get that on, lets look at the back motor And the front... the Vincents are really great looking motors, if these weren't so mean, I'd probably call them pretty. Take a good look, you probably will never see another joined set of old Vincents, most folks would use them and build a pair of $70K show bikes... hummmm, you know, this is really nice for an old salt racer... |

....................... the Vincents are really great looking motors, if these weren't so mean, I'd probably call them pretty................ Functional and beautiful...........I can't think of a better looking bike motor. I wonder if Max and Burt might be related somehow . You can't help, but be rooting for him and what he has accomplished. Great stuff Stainless, Sum |

Scott, back on page 4 is the rear ... 700 X 18 Firestone, and in darn great shape. Yes Virginia, this is the real deal Bonneville 600MPH car tire, but it has a great shape for a bike tire. Yes, in the picture it looks like a raised flat shape, but it is rounded, see the other picture. The fender I showed you a while back goes over it to reduce the salt in the bike. This tire is really old, but you would never know by looking at it. Original owner, Art Arfons, this was one of his Jet Car lightly used or spare tires. Next, Al Teague, that is where Max got them, yes I said them, Max has 4. Another that looks like this and a couple that have seen a little harder use, all speed tested.
I guess I bypassed the front tire size, I will have to ask Max, it is a Goodyear Eagle Racing tire, same size that Denis is using I think. I'll check or Max will post it tomorrow, He is an early riser, and already fast asleep...  Sum, Yep, this could be his year |

OK, now the motor is finished and ready to install in the bike, of course Max touched up the paint on the cases mentioning that Don Vesco told him Krylon looks lots better than corrosion... We always called that canodizing note to self... motor painting tip, not all black paints are the same color, a little clear after makes them all blend. Other side, also ready to go, Max was starting his 10th hour of his day, hoping the motor would have been in the bike a couple of hours ago, but we all know all the little things take a lot of time, and must be done right. We pulled the floor crane into the garage, took the work table out to make a little room, picked the motor up off of the bench and set on a pair of HF furniture dolly's and rolled it over by the bike. Then we put the bike on the ground, leaning on its skids, and used one of the bike lifting chain-falls to pick up the motors. As with everything on this scooter, spare room has been left on the drawing board. The front of the motor pokes into a space at an angle, moves forward a little more, then swing the back in a little and stop. In this picture you see Max fitting the front motor exhaust pipes while he still can |

Memory test time for Max...  which pipe goes where, it was a 50-50 shot which one went where, not good enough odds for Max, he and Max Jr worked it out before we continued. Oh yea, did I mention that a couple of the blower to intake tubes have to go in now also. Because they wont fit down here when the motor is in place! Now is probably a good time to mention that this was my first time on this motor installation. You see those straps we are lifting with, wanna guess if they can be removed when the motor is installed...  Obviously Max was not watching his helper close enough.... soooo out it came changed to lifting on the top motor tie piece in the center. Hey, the second time is always easier... |

EEEHAW, the motors are in, the tubes that were laid in can be installed in their proper places. The other side. All that is left it to hook up about a hundred things, install a hundred more and this puppy will be ready to fire up. the top view, everything is here is a little tight. There a actually a couple of small spaces that you can see through the sides, of course those will be filled with the things that are next to install. Had a really fun day, learned a few tricks, learned a little about Vincent motors, used Wentworth tools (been a few years). You gotta love a 3/8 wrench that looks like it is about 11/16... what was that guy thinking |

Scott, Max uses a Goodyear D211 21 X 5 15 inch Bonneville tire. He shaved the edges for a closer to MC profile Talked to Max, he's been hooking up stuff since before the crows got up to urinate.... |
