Default Twins?

Well while this may not be the type of twins you were hoping to see, it is still a beautiful set of twins for me.

I picked this partially rebuilt engine trans combo up for pretty cheap and I am using the guts of the trans to completely rebuild my trans which is having issues that I haven't pinpointed just yet. I am taking both of these two my local shop to have them split the cases and then I can take a look at the trans parts.

In addition to having a trans full of parts to use, I also have an engine that I can build up at my own pace. The little 800 cc cruiser v-twin tends to be doggy while riding two up and loaded down with gear, so I am gonna do as much as I can to squeek some more power out of the next engine.

I was going to modify the tail to a full fender 9 " steelie with an led line from the brake light, but I am going to wait for that and a repaint until the next motor goes in.

My local shop has a guy there with a 750 shadow (carbed) that he is putting a turbo on and running about 15 lbs of boost. I am most certainly going to be getting details for myself for my next motor. I can try to get more info for anyone else that wants to know how to possibly set up our carbed bikes with a turbo.

I'll post some more pictures of the progress when it happens..
