Default V8 Choppers' Amusement Park on Wheels

Seems like it would be a handful, but looks can be deceiving...

Like to try it. No clutch? No shifting? Wonder why 2 levers. No foot brake?

did you see how close his legs were to the headers?
And he says there is no more heat than his HD. OK, sure.
must be ceramic coated, but they still look damn close to the legs.

the new baggers supposedly do run hot???

i was thinking about that.. with the engine being so big,it never really does work very hard. and it is wide open.. it might run a lot cooler then in a truck engine bay.. it has to get pretty good fuel mileage too wouldn't you think?

Any questions you guys might have about V8 bikes fire away.Bought mine little over a year ago with 580hp 406" building a NASCA SB2 427" 800hp will be ready this spring.As easy as these things spin the tire, trust me the 2 speed auto is a good thing.My 155" Harley will melt the tire when powershifting making it a handful in some situations.
