No. but the Original system was restricting the Output. The Buell system increases the HP and is quiet, The Thunderhead motor sounds Like a Triumph 650 twin Not a Harley. It Goes (Boom flaa) when you rev it quickly.. It's my Vincent and (earlier) Ducati Eater/. Surprises a Lot of People I can tell you but the Buell Kills it with the extra 20 Hp and it's Massive Low down torque. I had Both at one time. The Ulysses Mob didn't Know what the Buell was, I prefer the Sporty on dirt. The Buell has a Massive radius Rear tyre (Pirelli Diablo) and the whole thing is good in the wet. Well Better than some. . Nev

I think it Means "'I'm UP with it . I'm a HIP Bloke. More than capable of handling this job and worth more than the Crazy Money you pay Me. By the way. I'm going to make sure you can't rely on still being here Next Monday, so that you don't slack off" . Nev

Well the meaning of Life can't be accruing $#!t. Do as I say, not as I do It needs Protecting from the elements and you can't take it with you. and People want to pinch it. You Must Be organised though, or you will be going around in circles. My DOGS have restricted my LIFE though BAD idea. They still chase Kangaroos and anything else and cost as much as car to Keep. I've been with My Missus for 54 years. She Helps everybody and is Getting too Old for that. I need My machinery and tooling Making and fixing stuff is satisfying. Better than JUST buying it. That's JUST Money. Sometimes when you have done it , You wish you hadn't... My newest Vehicle is 12 years old the Oldest 4 wheel is 29 years old. There's better things to spend money on than new cars. IMHO Nev

Needs Updating. It SAYS it's more than 12 years OLD. Things move FAST in that Game. It's all a big CON. Nev

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

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

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

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

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

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

No one KNOWS. Nev

It's like a thermo siphon.. The side tubes are hotter at the top than the Bottom . Nev

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

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

ALL of that Coast is rather nice. Nev

Yes . Strange how Heat can cool. Nev

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

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

There used to be LOTs of them in Cairns, mostly upside down on the ceiling. Nev

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

LOTS of good Places. That's why I have stayed in Victoria. I was Born and raised In NEWCASTLE. The Coaly City.. Nev

The WHOLE world, even. Nev

Trump would WIN a "shooting your Mouth off" Contes,t hands down. Nev

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

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 .
