I wonder what Erik Buell was thinking when he designed the perimeter brake? :roll:
Surely you want to reduce rotational inertia, not increase it. :?

Erik was an importer for AP who did the disc on the Norton.

I think Willy is copying Britten with his colour schemes...

:yup: V8 bike engines mmmm. Been planning to put one in my car.
I might be a bit late though, as John Hartley has sold the rights to his H1.

I was thinking more of the engine bolted to the casting/swing arm, pull suspension, and engine hung from the frame by its heads.
A bit off topic though. Sorry.

Hi Mick-

Its a standard XB cooler. Made a flat stock bracket for it.

Then i bought fitting and braided line and plumbed it right off the pump. I could get a couple pics of that if needed. I am planning on putting a bypass in so i can turn it off for colder weather.

Use a proper waxstat sandwich plate (behind the filter) on a tuber to control oil temp........XB's dont need this as the engine is surrounded by a fuel tank :?
