I rode Mark's bike a few years back with reeds but without the latest mod.
Incredible bottom end for a triple let alone a 500 with the usualy hit on top.
Really fine craftsmanship on this.
Ergos not my particular style but this bike could be ridden fast by a novice thanks to the forgiving low end torque.

Definitely one of the best custom triples I have seen, it just looks right! :)

Henry, I've seen that video before (glad to see it again), but this time I noticed that I could see the slide of the right carb going up and down. :-) I guess I need to ride my H2 to your house soon.

When it revs, it sounds like the ricochet from a wild west rifle.
Sounds tough and bigger than 750 cc's.
How does it ride and did you stop work on the case reed motor?

Jim, you're in for a treat when Henry explains this one. Chris R. did some wild work on it, and it's another case reed engine. I shudder to think of how many sets of chambers I'd have to sell...
