45 MAGNUM |

Here was something that nobody had tried, but it looked like
it would work, and by gosh it did. I mated Sportster heads and
modified barrels to a WR lower end. My purpose was to increase
the horsepower while keeping the weight to a minimum. I
clearanced a WL frame and lightened it at the same time, added a
close ratio WR tranny and a Ceriani fork and front brake. In
those days we didn’t have custom wheels on the market, even so,
the bike only weighed 230 lbs. Wet. Power to weight? Oh boy!
I over revved it at the drags and both rods snapped, converting
the flywheel assembly into a buzz saw. You should have seen the
mess. I still have all of the pieces packed away though.
