Lamedog Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 This silly bike is for sale too. Will keep this or the 'O2 Lemans whichever doesn't move. Start point was an '81 G5, but not much remains. Engine was done by Ace Mallot. I talked with Ace and previous owner. Can't confirm, but understand it has been flow balanced, new cam, steel timing gears, (somewhat) lightened flywheel, higher compression pistons and Carrillo rods. Recent clutch. Rear drive and transmission rebuilt by Charlie Cole. Virtually everything else on the bike is new. This bike generates comments and smiles for sure. It rides and sounds great. I have put in 300 mile days on the bike on NorCal coastal roads. Not sure you'd want to do this on a regular basis - but it can be done. Project Entertaining reasonable offers over $15K. Which is a silly price until you look at Kaffee Machine's Roundhead and realize they are 15 to 18 k euro, and this one has some nicer features imo. Oh well, maybe Billy Joel or Jay Leno will accept my Facebook request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
