Be prepared to wet yourself on the sonic signature. 700 cc version here.

Nice, I think it looks better than the Carberry 55° version. It would be nice to see a back to back comparison. However I'll take either engine to stuff in a featherbed frame :)

Beauty is obviously in the eye of the beholder - looks gangly to me.
And having to cut and extend the frame, compared to the Carberry just bolting in ??
Not bad for a one owner effort though...

Sheeze its the engine that's special not the long in tooth 350 with widened tank. Just close eyes and listen. I've been to India to hear the Engfield thumpers so pleasant over the 2 strokes. I know why this fella wanted a double thumper. The Horse Chopper magazine has current article on it and the sound was the original inspiration to take on decades of innovation and set backs. Awesome sound success to me and goes pretty nice too.

Two Bullets = a Musket! :D

I wonder if this one could do 70 mph without blowing up :?:
