Welcome to the Worldwide V8 Bikers Forum

Randy and Dawn I will arrive Wednesday afternoon. See ya there. Maybe a trip to Fat Daddy's for drinks and food?

I have heard it works well and can take abuse in 2nd. I would definitely run a skid plate with it however. After seeing what happened to Shane Fischer's tranny, I will always run a skid plate.

My 2007 has never leaked, guess I am the lucky one!

I'm in 14-18 so is Elvis.

Welcome Clint. I love this site and always have. I personally feel that adults can police themselves and that the fewer the rules the better. We have no problems here. If something doesn't suit you....just speak up. Seems way more relaxed and enjoyable here.

Bill, I am the world's worst to just read what the others post and fail to contribute myself. I visit the site regularly, but post little. I too will attempt to be more "productive". I have eliminated a ton of little bugs on my bike and trike....right now very little to report as both are ...

Sue Jones posted several on her Facebook page. Maybe we could sweet talk her or Deb into posting links.....

Here are the photo's from Bike Night at Rudy's in La Crosse on 6/13/13

I used the lever clamped down for a day or so also. My Boss Hoss bike will gravity bleed the rears, now that the parking brake is removed and I use a front master cylinder on the bars for the rear brakes. I really like being able to use the rear brakes with both feet on the ground in gravel parking ...

I use the same combo as Carl!

Jack, no the pads did not rub. The reason for the mushy feel is the springs had the pads so far away from the rotors the master cylinder could not close the gap. once the springs were removed, the pads were close to the rotors, hard brakes resulted. It worked!

My brakes are rock solid on my V8 Chopper ... front and rear....but it took work to get it that way. The culprit on the rear was the springs intended to return the pads to open position. Stan removed them and I have good rear brakes. On the front Chris had to trim some chrome off of the hand lever a...

I will be there Tuesday. I think Geezer, Rick, Ponch, and Dorcas are also arriving late Monday. Shane will arrive early Wednesday morning.

Jack,

It was built in August 2000. Monte told me I had the choice of the last 2000 or the first 2001 if I would wait 2 or 3 weeks. Since the price was the same.....I waited.

Well while we are at it ...... I have the FIRST 2001 Boss Hoss vin #001. It was the FIRST production unit with the inverted front end. Anyone want to make me an insane offer on it???? Hah, I thought not! BTW it is a lowly ZZ4 unit .... but they no longer make them soooo.....

Here are a few shots I got at Daytona Bike Week 2013. Enjoy!

I visited with them both at the speedway! Great to see them. got a picture of his awesome bike too!

I am retired. Retired from active duty with the Arkansas Air National Guard in 1991 (Instuctor/Evaluator Pilot). Retired in 2000 from High School Math and Science teacher postition is SE Missouri.

I finally got a decent day to make outside photos of my new paint. Now you can see the details of Wet Willey's work!

I flew all of those at one time or another. Started with the C on active duty went back to the G and H in the guard. We kept B and F models for check out and Ferry jobs. Ended in the C in 1976. 1977-1986 flew the KC - 135 A and later E model with fan jets. 1987- 1991 flew C -130's in the school at L...

Will do Els, see you at Stan's each day. Wet Willey saw a sticker over a scratch on my bike and wanted to know what it was. I told him that was my squadron patch from fighters .... RF-101 Voodoo. He said we have to put that on the bike. He airbrushed it on the seat pan. If you look close at the pain...

I will be there March 9 - 16 . Had to stay in Orlando again, but have done it before. Only place I could get a timeshare exchange this late. I will start earlier next year. I will bring my bike and trike. I plan to leave them at Billy's and run back and forth to Orlando. I hope to have "company...

Els, you will never know how much you have influenced us. I first got interested in V8 Choppers because of you and Gary. I have followed all your bikes. I finally met Stan and well....that was that! I saw your latest while it was being built. Awesome ride for sure.

Wet Willey and I rubbed our heads together on this one. I picked the colors and general graphic shape.....he did the layout from there. I have found it best to not try to influence the painter too much. You get a much better result that way. Mike knows me and what I like. He told me during our conve...
