  1. Incidentally It Makes 82 HP with those heads (from 1,000cc) which are flowed and have a changed (reduced) included angle on the Valves and SMALLER exhaust Valves. The original Valves are Bigger than Optimum in the IRON head. This gives an increase of torque of up to 42% with no cam changes and no More Revs needed and the Ignition advance reduced by 8 degrees. The Oil temp is also significantly reduced because of the Alloy Heads and the flatter top ARIAS forged Pistons have Less area to absorb Heat.. It's all XR 750Tracker technology. The after market heads and different Manifold and rockers head bolts Pistons Pushrods and covers were Very expensive and they only made 400 sets. The Later alloy Motor can be Modified to equal these performance figures and the Buell Motor is there already. 100 HP/1200 cc with a much stronger bottom end and Lighter clutch. Nev
  2. BTW the roaring sporties were the Alloy Head and Barrells with a 5 speed Gearbox. AND steel Flywheels The iron ones have SG cast flywheels. They can all be interchanged The IRON sportsters are getting sought after. I have an 81, 61 inch Sportster I fitted with Thunderheads in 1983 that I purchased NEW.. Nev
  3. They Had a category Known as Roaring Sporties and they were pretty bullet proof in the form they Raced. You can Bore them out to 1200 as the stroke is the same. A better option might be the Buel Engine( Harley type 1200) They are 103Hp with injectors But you Might prefer a carby. They are Plentiful as the frames are of Aluminium and can't be repaired after a big drop. I had a new XB 12 SS Lightning Long that Pulled like a steam engine with Light gear changes as well The bottom end rods and flywheel are the Best of any Harley and used for a lot of "Specials" . The flywheels are forged steel with Integral Mainshafts a double taper roller on the drive and a long roller bearing on the timing side, Ask around. The Ironheads are great for making a showbike chopper and the engine has a great classic V twin Look about it. with distinct Rocker boxes They run a bit hot when worked. Run On ethanol 85 or 70 they would be fine and you can get it for about $1.50/ Litre. This fuel maybe the saving grace of a lot of Older Cast Irom Bikes mixing it with traffic. The gearbox oil is separate from the engine in all of them. All the engines are dry sumped with a separate Oil tank
  4. Prefer if you said Privatisation but such things being ESSENTIAL should be more subject to scrutiny as you usually have a Monopoly with No other choice. Nev
  5. IF you cohabit with someone you Might as well be Married as far as the LAW is concerned. They say IF you marry an Italian Man and you love him you will have that much in common.. You marry when you have a short circuit between your balls and your Brain. Nev
  6. It's THOU will be done. Experts see risks with AI. I will trust the experts like we do with Most other things. Fully competent and with NO vested Interests. Nev
  7. No one KNOWS. Nev
  8. It's like a thermo siphon.. The side tubes are hotter at the top than the Bottom . Nev
  9. Marry a wealthy Person. IF Love dies the money is still around. Marriage is a Lottery so, Perhaps Buy a lottery ticket now and then. Without a Job to Motivate you to Get out of bed you might Just stay in Bed and that is No good at all. You need to be physically and Mentally active. Have a good Veggie Garden, a few fruit trees and some chooks. Nev
  10. You can PROMISE anything. (Like Palmer) that you have NO hope of ever delivering and the Masses FALL for it.. SHE's 100% for Trump. All the Press is anti LABOR even the ABC, often. ALBO has a Giant Balancing act to do and whether you believe it or not labor is very close to CENTRE.. Nev
  11. ALL of that Coast is rather nice. Nev
  12. Yes . Strange how Heat can cool. Nev
  13. They are Misfits from everywhere and right wing. How will they decide the Pecking Order? Too many Chiefs and Not enough Indians. What policies will they AGREE on? It's Pauline Hanson's ........(whatever it IS). One Notion. Nev
  14. They have NO One in the Lower House but Gina is Backing them so Who Knows? Remember it a POLL and the Only POLL that counts is on Election day After a Period of Campaigning where Questions will be raised. Nev
  15. There used to be LOTs of them in Cairns, mostly upside down on the ceiling. Nev
  16. I've flown at night using Oil Containers with Rope Wicks down one side of the strip (LHS) and one extra at each end . Dog we had it tough in those days, but Newcastle at Night from a DH82 Cockpit is a Rare and Pleasurable experience. Clean up One of those containers and you'd soon Light up the show. We didn't think of such Possibilities. Nev
  17. LOTS of good Places. That's why I have stayed in Victoria. I was Born and raised In NEWCASTLE. The Coaly City.. Nev

  19. Trump would WIN a "shooting your Mouth off" Contes,t hands down. Nev
  20. That's the way it's going to BE, because I can't do it the way you INSIST on. Are you a New Moderator? So many rules. Plenty SHOUT much more that I do. It's ONLY to Emphasise. Why can't YOU just accept that? This is B Unpleasant. Yes My Caps lock does stick. Keyboard is a POS but I can't afford a New One and I probably Need operations on Both Hands. I've already had one on each. Nev
  21. Well said. She's just another CON Artist. HER show exists on the Amount paid for Every primary vote. SHE has NO candidates in the Lower house. only the Senate which Keating called "Unrepresentative SWILL" with some justifications as they get there dependent on what order they are Places on the List by the Party . Nev
  22. It CAN happen. make sure you weigh up everything and not seen the "grass is greener on the Other side of the Fence" Nev
  23. I'm Doing it for Emphasis NOT to be rude. AND I did answer GON's Question. What are you picking on this for? Isn't what I say More Important? Nev
  24. Plenty of NAIVE dills around. She has No Policies bar Hating a "current" group and Pulling RACIST STUNTS and stirring People up,. Look at the SORT of People she has recruited to BE in "HER" Party. How will THEY all work together.? Nev
