Yeah, I'm stoked! Full DG pipe, 12 .1 pop up, big cam, titanium valves and spings, ported and polished, port matched intake, jetted carb, and a hot spark box! Guess I'll be hibernating in the garage for the winter!

Yeah, I was playing dumb. I'm excited about this thing, but now it puts me in the situation of deciding WHAT TO DO WITH IT!! Sounds like a lot of fun, but I've heard these motors can be a (female dog) to start, maintain, and tune. Hmmm.....

$200 for the bike. Also came with an old DG aluminum grab bar and a Hondaline front fender brace. Decent tires, too.

No, but for an extra $50 I took a parts bike with a new-ish extended swing arm.

I think it says curtis sporks? j/k nice score. I wonder if engines are like art where the price goes up when the artist dies? good chance if it is an old build it may have been built by curt himself

The guy I bought it from "says" it was built my him, personally. Unfortunately, I have no way of knowing for sure.

Did I miss something Ben. Curtis isn't dead is he? I could just Google it and not look dumb,,but I've heard nothing?! And yes,,back then It would have more than likely been HIS hands in there.

Had to throw it in storage 'til the weekend. I'll snap some more pics then. The lower end is polished (though rough) and the timing cover appears anodized.

I built this one up last week from a pile of about 3 or 4 scrap motors, thing runs awesome (for 4hp that is!)

I signed it and sent these 3 pics to my buddys at work to impress them ... so me and Curtis Sparks are kinda the same huh? lol

PS thank god for acetone!
