That looks awesome. You have my utmost respect for your craftsmanship!! I was referring to the other V twin, the one were it is like ridding on the living room recliner...🙂
 
Now that is a nice find with her clothes off.

For a time In the USA these were the primo RC bikes to have with the 505 and 509 improvement on every model. Too bad it never took off here like it did it Europe as they were way beyond most income brackets. Takes a little getting used to how to drive it but once you do they are go kart like handling. Ive had mine since 2011 and it is shelf queen now and no way I'd sell it. Just looks cool sitting there.

I'd run it, get the experience and make it a shelf gueen as parts are Uber hard to find.
 
I want to make a rear wheel dyno type stand that spins on one roller so i can run the engine on it.
i could use wood or aluminum sheet to make a mount for the bike and use mounted roller bearing for the rear tire to sit on like these there is plenty of types too choose even with a bracket.

Sure why not. Maybe you use the tape style rpm sensor on it (the kind they use on something like a machine spindle) , get an RPM and calculate MPH from there. Be interested to see what you come up with.

And I did some searching for a bike myself. They are out there but not cheap , not to mention parts are limited. I think I will pass unless I stumble onto something. Too much money for another one to sit on the shelf.
But I still have my Losi MX bike.
 
i wouldn't buy a rc dyno and i don't need the sensor speed data from it...i do plan to do a top speed run on the road once the engine is run in.
instead of the nylon bearing rollers as pictured above i will use a rubber wheel with bearings it will grip with the tire better.
