After backing away from my hastily conceived engine concern post, a storm front blew a small tree out of the top of the big tree by my driveway, ripping all the wires down from my house. Now that I'm back, I've got another stick to poke with. I like to be sure people are thinking things out when they push old stuff to new performance levels, because real bloody gore is never as much fun as the Hallowe'en/Hollywood kind. There was a guy posting here last year who now has permanent metal parts holding his sternum together, because the steering head separated on his electric build. I hope that that really old, more than likely hand-brazed bike of yours, is up to the strain of extra weight and vibration.
