Stole this from Pacman's blog.


Daves "Steel Shoe"



Drawings for casted parts...











Daves bike turned out great, though, I wish I had a picture of us at midnight cutting the fuel sender hole in the bottom of the tank... After paint.... The best part of being in charge of the tins of a motorcycle build like this (turbo-charged sporty) was getting to see the look on Daves face when it started it for the first time. Dave had metal shavings all over him, sweating, exhausted... but had the biggest smile, it was rad- it just started right up! 

 Thank you Pacman!!!

The Steel Shoe


This bike is a fucking MONSTER.  
I have had this bike in my head for years and thanx to Mike and Grant I made it happen.  It is going to evolve from here into a far more serious machine.  Thanx to Dynojet we ran it on the dyno to tune it.  It ran 108hp on the dyno with throttle cables that limited throttle opening.  so that 108hp was at 66% throttle.  We expect with tuning that i should be able to get it to 145-150 at the rear wheel.  

Its the XLRF-TT.
XL for Sportster
RF for Race Fun
TT for Turbo Tracker
it's the Steel Shoe.
