Nice pics. A group of us are going to Winchester next weekend if you can make it again.

I hope you're too busy riding(not wrenching) to talk to the likes of us. We'll be here when you get back.

Got it out yesterday, still struggling with cold starts but once its lit and warmed up, it runs great. The only carnage was the upper chain roller nut loosened up and fell off. I have no issue with the vibrations yet, it's really noticeable at an idle and at the top end, it is violent at the top end. Should have some pics after today's ride

The Zilla will easily walk away from either of the Honda 500's. But to be fair to the Honda's the Zilla has been ported by Jerry Hall, V-2 reeds, PWK 41mm and the Honda's are stock other than reeds

Thanks, Maxx

If you still have your honduki frame we may have to talk. How is your bug coming along?

Day two, no carnage all is good need too experiment with gearing a little. Runs awesome all the low end grunt i had expected. So far quite happy with the results.

Yep still have the frame tucked away.
Bug is slow going a lot of fab work. Picked up a pinto engine out of a rail for it and a 091 trans
