Interesting project; no clue what the bike it goes in will look like yet. Some are speculating it’s being built under license. https://www.bennetts.co.uk/bikesocial/news-and-vie ws/news/2022/june/chinese-shineray-familiar-v-twin  | ||

Remember the Rikuo "non-Harley"?  | ||

I'd like to modify an old CB550four frame to carry it. | ||

Well, for those who still hold a grudge to HD for the way they screwed HD Buell, and want LAP/Buell to resurrect the tube frames, here is a base for them to start with. | ||

Funny that late Tubers made more HP at the rear wheel. | ||

I think most tubers had more power than this, because even the early ones had better exhausts and intakes than their Sportster counterparts. Interesting that the engine has apparently been designed in Italy with an improved bottom end. Maybe it will actually be an improvement on the Sportster. I was just looking at Shineray’s website; apparently they make a wide variety of vehicles including cars. Their motorcycle range is similar to Hero’s- lot’s of scooters and 250’s in various configurations. They do have a 650 flat tracker, apparently a parallel twin, that looks decent. They also have this photo on their main page, but I can’t find any info on it.  | ||

IIRC, the Rikuo was made with HD flathead tool and die sent to Japan to help their economic recovery from taking two nukes from us. Z | ||

Did we ever collect the cost of those two bombs from them?? | ||

Another article on the Chinese Sportster clone. Since Harley has officially killed the air cooled Sportster, I’m curious to see what happens with this. https://www.topspeed.com/heres-a-chinese-cruiser-t hat-can-bury-the-harley-davidson-forty-eight | ||
