Hi Kayla,
Can you tell us more about the rear wheel/brake setup for that unfinished xj550 you posted?
Cheers.

Seeley Honda?? Start messing about with that and you would be shot?
That ain't no Seeley Honda - that's one of only three RTL 305cc long stroke bikes,the immediate predecessor of the RTL 306 that Rob Shepherd won the British championship on in, I think, '76.
Sammy Miller Hi-Boy frame, Reynolds 531.
Not a hack bike but I saw this down the shops at the weekend...

Personally I love the Bobber on the right, which brings me to the question, when the cylinders are reversed as so with the inlets being at the front, won't that make jetting a nightmare (faster you go the more air forced in) ?
Fuel injected... Though tbh even with properly designed ducting you need to be shifting before ram air's a big positive. Turbulence issues [i]definitely[/i] on the cards though. Assuming anyone ever rides it, I'm assuming it's a show queen.
TBH I'd be less worried about mapping it for forced air, and more worried about forced bumblebees. I suppose they could make a cap for it, like hot rod dudes do for their intake stacks.
some interesting stuff there.
To inspire you here's a genuine cafe racer 🙂

My current (as it's been for last year or two!) Yamaha SRX 608 twin shock, due a rebore and lots of other bits.
