He's a corrupter


Do not sit on this bike, for all innocense is lost.

Just finished putting a edelbrock quicksilver on the '8802.  rough tune, supertrapp tuned with 6 disks for the '88 carb, k&n filter, jury rigged intake connector to air box... going up my WOT hill... previously the '96 did 87best... the '8802 did 82... drum roll please... 97    and I paused in the middle of the hill to pass a car.  I rolled on from the bottom of the hill from 70.  I backed off from 95 to pass the car down to 85.  

Lancer, you sob, what have you done?

Sounds like you are doomed Verslagen

Violent Rage is the handle to a nice guy named Andrea (in Latin Countries it's a MAN's name!) who lives in Milan,
his Savage is named... Daisy but looks wild !
(remember? It's the one with a front wheel off a Cagiva Mito, the 125cc version of MV Agusta)  

Oh man, I invite Slavy to come out to SC & ride the Dragon but then my bikes don't work.    OK, pay back time; Slavy finds a photo of me that ... well, it's not exactly my best image.  Yea, ok, well what are friends for ? ?  

The bike photo is of  REX which was supposed to make the Dragon ride but had last minute issues with oil loss.  I have since replaced the valve stem seals and the head is back on, but still need to install high lift cam/chain, etc.
I am trying to get it back together this week but with kitchen makeover work and prep for our 35th anniversary trip coming up next week, time is at a premium.  
I decided to not put the big piston in it right now ... short on $$ fun stuff, but will just hold it until I can save up my penny's for Bore-tech's fine work.  The engine ran very will before but since then the exhaust ports have been reworked, 0.040" shaved from head/cyl which should yield almost  point higher compression, and replaced standard Performance Camshaft with the higher lift version.
I have 3 carbs to work with.  Older model 38mm Edelbrock which is seen in the photo; new 38mm Edelbrock with acc. pump, and a 38mm Mikuni with UFO with closed pilot jet, the new version of the Dial-a-jet with bar mount dial selector,  and ... ah ... something else but my brain has gone blank for now.  Anyway, plenty of carbs on hand to play with.  
The photo shows the carb mounted on a 90 deg. elbow but I plan to replace that with a 45 deg mount if it will clear the frame, in order to get a straighter shot into the intake.
I also have a 6" velocity stack, and several filters for the carbs.  Some fit here & others there.  

After I get a decent road tune on the carbs I hope to get some dyno time at 76 Cycle, owned by John who works on older model HD's.   He is one of the good guys from the HD world, and is interested in what I'm doing with REX.  
Anyway, I would like to get dyno runs with each of the carbs, get them fine tuned if needed, and compare those dyno numbers with what I get from the Veypor program.

Battery not shown in this photo ... look closely and you will see one of the battery cables behind engine; battery is mounted to frame rails behind engine and under seat with bungy chords/brackets above and below.

I like that tank, what is the capacity? Would it fit if the seat was not lifted?

3.3 gal   Mounting this tank required cutting and welding on the top frame rail.
Center rail extended back to welded end plate on back of frame.  Side support rails cut, shortened and rewelded farther back down center rail.  The rest of the frame is the same; no change in engine or fork mounting, etc.
