Dunno about the others, but I wouldn't mind trying the Kwaka. Bet it goes like stink[]

I was talking to the Guy who built it ( Allen Millyard) at the Stafford Classic Bike Show in the UK 2 0r 3 years back, he hadn't got the carbs sorted at the time, and was having a few probs getting a suitable set up running in the "V".quote:Originally posted by chalk10

The reason its a Z-2300 and not a Z-2600 is (if I remember rightly) because he put 2 conrods onto each of cranks throws, This put each rod off-centre in the bore, and he corrected this by fitting liners with more "meat" and boring them off centre.
By all accounts, its not just a "Show Pony" Its go's HARD !!
VERY interesting bloke, built several specials using KH 2-stoke parts, making 4 / 5 / 6 cylinder inline two strokes.
including....
1970 5 cylinder Kawasaki H-1 850cc
1972 4 cylinder Kawasaki H-2 1000cc
1973 5 cylinder Kawasaki H-2 1250cc
He did a very nice V8 out of KZ1000 parts.
When he was a schoolboy he turned a C90 Honda step-through engine into a V-twin.

Ive got a mate back in Tassie who built a dragbike and used 3 CR480 engines. It was the most evil sounding bike i have ever heard. needless to say he had many gearbox problems and eventually gave up the idea. pity tho.

What the farkin' 'ell is going on there? It's a V8 mobile scrap heap and it's kinda cool!
Akira meets the Wombles. It'd scare the tripe out of me . Good engineering and an interesting use of a Yami GTS front end. With a bike tyre on the back it'd be interesting to ride. But kinda cool none the less.
All it needs to finish it off is a MATCH
NUTS!
That thing would be perfect for
Not the Hemi...the black thing.
I want to see him wheelstand it
Now THATS a fat boy!!
