    This is my 1975 Kawasaki H1 500 triple cylinder 2 stroke. It is all stock except for the air cleaners and paint job. Took me years to restore this bad boy but it was well worth it. I know it isn't a Harley but I hope you will enjoy this blast from the past.

    This is my entry for the stock bike of the month on Cycle Fish... See yall in Sturgis!

    2007 Harley Street Bob, bought this bike brand new in June of 2007 and spent the first winter stripping it apart and ushering a lot of the parts off to the powder coater! Only spent $225.00 get all that done .o0O(wonder what that woulda came to in chrome?)... with that said this scoot of mine comes with a 103CI Big Bore, 204 bagger cams in it for now... (took a trip this spring from the coast of WA to PA... nice 6 week trek to see a few friends and a good Army brother of mine I hadn't seen in 20 years! The bagger cams were perfect for the trip but I think I'm going to upgrade to the S&S 106CI kit with the compression release cams)
    This bike might appear stock but most of what came with the bike is now in a few boxes:-)

    So for your viewing pleasure I present my 2007 Harley Davidson FXDBI Street Bob

    Very nice! Awesome bike! They look so innocent and docile by today's standards but watch out! I'm sure the powerband on your 500 hits hard! The 750 was even crazier! I believe these were some of the first bikes to be called "widow makers". NICE!!!

    Thank you bbqb4racin. And you are correct....get this thing up past 6k rpm's and you had better have a good hold on her. They did call these "widow makers" and for a good reason....They go screamin fast but have little stopping power, 1 disk brake in front, 1 drum in the rear! I have learned to respect it's power. Thanks again!

    The first cam I installed when I removed the stock cam was the EV-1, it was a tappet roller eating machine which of course turned into a nightmare and lots of cool metal shavings in the bottom end. After replacing the EV-1 I went to the Crane .316 Fireball cam and it made it sound like a tractor, not bad performance but switching to the EV-27 made all the difference in the world and it runs great!

    I ran an EV-27 in my 93 Wide Glide. First time I rolled the throttle on hard at about 1500 RPM in second or third gear I almost slid off the seat. My feet did leave the forward controls. Really caught me by suprise. It was the perfect cam, lots of extra power and maintained reliability.

    This is my fun bike. 1991 HD Sportster Barhopper! "The Sidewalk Assault Vehicle" is painted in the Digital Camo Design of our US Military. It was a fun job to do. Paint and paste pixel cut tape, repeat 4 times and didn't include the Beer-equity that went into it. A fun job and a cool look, and definately a lot of fun to blast around town on. Probably not the Bike of the month but it is good to be in the show!

    Actually, this was done kind of as a Tribute to my son Joey who is Proudly Serving in the Unites States Army, readying for his first deployment to the Sandbox. Me, Dad - Been there done that and got the T-Shirt!

    Good Luck to all!!

    My ride is an '89 FXSTS with a little bit of sheet metal, paint and other goodies thrown at it.  I have a few other little plans for it, but it's pretty close to the way I want it.

    Well I guess I'll give it another shot. This is my 1980 Honda CM400T. Did all the accessories myself.  The saddle bags are .30mm ammo cases and the driving lights are sealed beam work lights from the local hardware store. Getting everything mounted was a bit of a trick, special thanks to a ton of nuts, bolts and home-made mounting brackets. Nothing fancy, just a fun, reliable daily driver!

    1974 Norton 850 Commando bored to (880) I get bored and change things up every year or so. Changed to Bright White with blue pearl Barrett Jackson paint, added a 40hp gain wet Nitrous kit, new pipes, new grips, kill switch, turn signals, and a couple of other odds and ends. Stock was 72hp, should be right at 100hp now. Will be running at the AHDRA drags this fall.
