• nocooler: My dad drag raced a h2 in the 80s

• nocooler: He had owned a couple 500s before the 750.

• earlbrown: Those triples were called the ''flexable flyers'' at the race track.  Damn frames were made out of conduit.
  June 09 2019, 06:17:18 PM
• earlbrown: You could walk up to one of those and step on the rear wheel, crab the handlebars and twist the bike back and forth with out 10 pounds of force.

• wmsonta: I rode a 500 in prop 1970. Kinda hard to keep the frt end down in the bottom gears. A young raced a 750 on nitro at a local track. I checked and do have a picture of it from prob 1972.

• reality: There's 1 of these around here somewhere.  [link]

• wmsonta: prob 1970.......... .ayoung man

• Forzfed: I was parked next to a nice H1 last night on cruise night.  I'm going out on a limb and say my RZ will out handle and brake it a little bit!
  June 10 2019, 10:20:37 AM
• earlbrown: the RZ chassis is a lot more modern than the H2.  It also doesn't have to put up with that brutal powerband from the Kawasmokie
  June 10 2019, 05:05:56 PM
• Forzfed: Very true, Earl.  They made them till '90 here and '96 overseas but didn't improve the frames on the RZ's.

• Tcorgn6: Don’t forget about the old RD 350 & 400’s too. Those hauled ass. Took my old 78’ KZ 1000 from a dig.

• daveismissing: How are the fronts seats bolted down? floating nut in a channel thats part of the floor pan (guessing?)
  June 11 2019, 11:04:25 AM
• nocooler: Are you talking Gbody Dave? IIRC they have studs in the floor and use nuts to hold them down.
  June 12 2019, 08:40:10 AM
• TexasT: i dont remember them being flating. just studs up from the floor the seat goes over and a nut. if the seat frame is bent it makes it a little more challenging.
  June 12 2019, 09:42:09 AM
• TexasT: floating
  June 12 2019, 09:42:32 AM
• daveismissing: Thanks guys, I was trying to preplan my evening's work - yes it is a stud up from the floor, I may have a marketable no weld repair for those rail breaksat

• Tcorgn6: HAPPY FATHERS DAY TO ALL
  June 16 2019, 01:53:50 PM
• daveismissing: Seems like many FAST systems are being sold off and replaced with the Holley.
  June 21 2019, 09:22:44 PM
• earlbrown: Good thing I'm cheap.   I avoid all those upgrades and just suck it up with my stock 'shit'.
  June 22 2019, 04:24:31 AM
• TexasT: holley has a "few" more ways to "make things happen" and people love to spend money.and have the newest greatest parts
  June 22 2019, 07:37:50 AM
• Steve Wood: Holley is more user friendly, has more abilities, and is not being marketed thru a few tuners primarily.  FAST has not developed a broad base of users and does not appear to offer as much support
  June 22 2019, 10:18:50 AM
• good2win22: The advantage to Holley hardware is the amount of inputs and outputs available, I/O’s. The more sensors for data logging seems to be the new wave. Folks measuring shock travel, drive shaft speed, wheel speed, coolant pressure, boost at compressor, boost at manifold, Exhaust drive pressure... If you can think of a way of making a sensor work then folks want to log it. The software is user friendly as well. Saw a guy the other day posted a pic up of an XFI with the caption,” I know you Buick guys use this the most, will it work on a sbc?”
  June 22 2019, 02:56:14 PM
• Steve Wood: It will as long as he does not buy it from the wrong seller
  June 23 2019, 09:11:55 AM
• nocooler: FAST makes more money selling $1000 plastic intake manifolds.
  June 23 2019, 09:31:35 AM
• Steve Wood: I suspect you are absolutely correct
  June 23 2019, 01:03:41 PM
• TexasT: that fast has a nifty booklet of instructions but if you arent "in the know" it can be confusing, or at least it is to me
  June 24 2019, 08:43:41 AM
• nocooler: Booklet? I thought it came with a sticky note with a vendor tech support number that charges by the minute.
  June 24 2019, 12:30:14 PM
• good2win22: What he said... booklet? What booklet
  June 25 2019, 10:30:31 AM
• TexasT: that guy we went to help in mdlothian had some kins of booklet. or i thought he did. i didnt even have a beer there.
  June 25 2019, 05:59:03 PM
• good2win22: That guy in Midlothian was running big stuff 3
