StunningCafe Racers..mmm! We'll have to see if I get my legs slapped with a ruler. But untill I do then...I like this one
Late model R100R or Mystic, GS collector box, Twin shock sport seat and 'S' fairing. The under seat exhaust is a nice touch.

I like everything about it until I get to the rear subframe. Not a good design aesthetically nor practical . Rear mudguards that are tilted up to look more ‘sporty’ are another of my bugbears.Looks interesting

No way is that subframe mounting structurally sound
I’m still here. Haven’t had an airhead for a few years so only pop in from time to time.

Blimey Rob, not seen you since 2010 at Verns Bash !!

Spotted at todays Matlock Classic Meet - not sure I have ever seen one on the road before:
Was it yourself I spoke to Paul? (I was there on the r80st scrambler). The Krauser owner had built it up himself from a frame and engine. The frame kit alone cost him £3000 - and that was over 30 years ago. Asked about those 4v heads and, as suspected, he confirmed he'd initially had issues - namely the bike ate the camshafts. After barely 3000 mlles....
Rebuilt and all good since, thanks to using a specific synthetic oil (can't remember the brand)
Yes - that was me on the PD

That's what I wanted for my airhead for years, But I did hear, early on that the cam lobes wear off with the krauser heads. And this is fixed with an upgraded forged cam that has been lightly hardened. The stock cams are fairly soft. If you run synthetic, you might consider using a mix, in order to keep the ring seat.
In 2017 Harley finally figured out that you don't need overhead cams on a long stroke motor to run a four valve heads. The rest is history I guess ...
My airhead is a green with white pinstriping, toaster tank, 1973 1/2 600 with 900 heads retro fitted. It runs pretty decent for what it is. The 600 was just not enough at elevation it seems.
