RC Drag Bike From Texas

This CB750 based drag bike raced in 1977-1979 in South Texas. This motorcycle had a 6X15 car slick on the back, 1080cc SOHC Honda engine, RC Engineering valve train and cam and did the 1/4 mile in 10 seconds @130 mph.

Take a minute and thing about it... Nowadays, stock motorcycles are quicker than that???

RC Dragster

Russ Collins was not the only one building multible engine drag bikes in the 70s. This dual CB750 engined drag bike is one of them, and the engine actually use RC parts

CB750 Racers - Hell Yeah!!!

The Beach Boys - Little Honda

                   

GO!

I'm gonna wake you up early
Cause I'm gonna take a ride with you
We're going down to the Honda shop
I'll tell you what we're gonna do
Put on a ragged sweatshirt
I'll take you anywhere you want me to

First gear (Honda Honda) it's alright (go faster faster)
Second gear (little Honda Honda) I lean right (go faster faster)
Third gear (Honda Honda) hang on tight (go faster faster)
Faster it's alright

It's not a big motorcycle
Just a groovy little motorbike
It's more fun that a barrel of monkeys
That two wheel bike
We'll ride on out of the town
To any place I know you like

First gear (Honda Honda) it's alright (go faster faster)
Second gear (little Honda Honda) I lean right (go faster faster)
Third gear (Honda Honda) hang on tight (go faster faster)
Faster it's alright

It climbs the hills like a matchless
Cause my Honda's built really light
When I go into the turns
Lean [Tilt] with me and hang on tight
I better turn on the lights
So we can ride my Honda tonight

First gear (Honda Honda) it's alright (go faster faster)
Second gear (little Honda Honda) I lean right (go faster faster)
Third gear (Honda Honda) hang on tight (go faster faster)
Faster it's alright

First gear (Honda Honda) it's alright (go faster faster)
Second gear (little Honda Honda) I lean right (go faster faster)
Third gear (Honda Honda) hang on tight (go faster faster)
Faster it's alright

CR750 Drag Bike Parts – On Ebay

Wow somebody is pulling apart an old drag bike!

And this somebody is Mr. Redlined24, and he has some rare and collectable CR drag bike parts for sale… If I had 1000$ to spare, I would by the lot!!!

Have a look yourself.

RC Performance Head

This performance head is from an RC Cobra engine, and includes alloy spring retainers, heavy duty valve springs and aftermarket valves. The combustion chamber has been enlarged to accommodate the increased size of the 1060 cylinders/pistons.

1060cc RC Drag Bike Cylinder

This is the real deal, this is the famous RC1060 cylinders pulled out of storage after 30 years! Bored for 73mm pistons a stock bike runs anywhere from 35-50Hp with the 1060 kit you will be pushing 100Hp. If you want a piece of racing history; this is it!

73mm Aaris Pistons

This set of 73mm Aaris pistons is also originally from the RC 1060 Cobra engine, and are in good shape. The exhaust valve kissed two of the pistons, and left slight indents. But no cracks or holes in the pistons.

RC Golden Rods

I personally have only seen on set of original RC gold rods on Ebay before, and they are truly rare to find. These rods are only for the biggest of the bigbore engines, and for high-stress applications. Not street machines!!!

RC Performance Camshaft

Action fours ss2a cam, do I have to say more? Ok here is more… This piece of stick runs at an optimal rpm rate of no less than 6.500 rpm [Bare in mind that this is a machine from the 60’s!!!], and race valves and spring sets are recommended – NO SHIT!?!

This Week's Cling On Girl...

Tachometer Plug Solution???

Hmm… I am not going to be old-fashioned about all this I hope; I know that there are many ways to skin a cat! This solution will most definitely keep dust and shit out of your tachometer gear, but this pictures deserves to be on http://thereifixedit.failblog.org/

This tachometer plug is more fun and practical, than cool and aesthetic…
Or am I just getting old and grumpy???
