... But Francisco, For the sake of (my) argument, let's approach this from the other end. Perhaps I can better state my convictions after we get a little more...
Brent, Have you looked into installing the rear wheel backwards? Is it too much work? I guess it could be a problem if the swingarm was asymmetrical… ...
The wheels are designed with the spoke pattern to handle drive stess in one direction, not the other. The spokes join the hub at an angle. I don't think I...
Brent, Why not install an alternate swingarm and wheel? An unbraced swingarm could be installed upside down. Maybe you’re married to the banana? ; ) ...
Brent, It’s possible that the wheel is overbuilt enough that it can withstand being run backwards just fine. Under power, are the spokes currently in tension...
Hi everybody, I enjoy very much reading the correspondence in the daily digest. Just one little thought. Don't forget to trim the messages! Yes, it happens to...
Then you have to find a swingarm and wheel. Not easy to find a wheel for right-drive. Then I would have to modify both to fit. Not to mention cutting and...
I have swapped rear wheels around on the back of bikes when making specials in the past. Never ran into a problem. All spokes are the same length on each...
I cant believe you just wrote that. I hope that's a joke and that I'm 'missing' it. As I'm sure the moderator will politely inform us all again it IS your ...
Dear mr Kovatsch, I do apologize for my message. It wasn't my meaning to upset you. I am aware that this is a group of high-tech-knowledgeable people (that's...
Be cool man : ) You wouldn\'t like to be near a place that upsets me. The \" \" in my post reminds you that everyone can have a bad day (scroll back to spring...

Head work on a DOHC 4 valve head, V twin 75' engine, and one downdraft carb per head, Comet GT250. Looking down the intake track in the head, it is a "Y" and...
From my experience you do not want a polished finish, rough is lot better for air flow as the air has a harder job creating a boundary layer against the port...

Humm! I'll default to your experience, Like I said "It's been awhile" What would be nice is to build a nice home made flow bench to test your theories. Did...
Ok, I have to laugh over the term "steady state"; I do not think much of anything in a Motorcycle is steady state, that is why we use the term "Art of tuning"...
... Seems to me that if gas flows well OUT a smooth port, it'd flow well IN also. I've read both sides of this for years, but have always wondered this: Q: IF...
