I already shot HHB an email. It looks like its actually a compression problem. Im heading back to the shop to sort it out. Sorry to disappoint on the paint. That's 16 coats. It's not changing anytime soon. Everything I build is silver and black. I actually went a little crazy with the...

I have a problem that I hope someone can help with. I have a 277 rephase, pamco ignition, banshee swap charging system, mikes XS flat slide carbs and it's kick only. My left cylinder is firing dead on. My right cylinder is firing but not in the right time so it never actually fires. Lots of...

I know a conclusion to this is a LONG time coming. I had some major turmoil in my life for a bit and building a motorcycle was a the bottom of the list.
