Pro-street V8 Motorcycle With Tunnel Ram And Two 600 Holleys on 2040-motos

Pro Street Pro Street description

Pro-Street V8 motorcycle with polished hi-rise tunnel ram and (2) 600 Holley carbs. Original manufacturer was a "American King V" in Baton Rouge, LA. 350 Chevy motor with approx. 3,800 miles. Single-speed tranny (no shifting). No reverse. Motor has a "gear drive" (timing chain replaced with gears) which produces a whine that sounds like there's a blower on the motor. HPV-1 direct-fire distributor-less electronic ignition. Lots of new parts including front and back tires. Frame was widened at the top to allow installation of tunnel ram and carbs (all work done last winter by me). Rear of frame is similar to a Harley Softail and front end is early 2000 Harley Wide Glide. Single bike trailer (see pic) comes with motorcycle. Also a small sport style clear windshield goes with the bike (not on the bike in the pictures). Selling "as is" with no warranty whatsoever. Reserve the right to cancel this Ebay ad due to bike being advertised locally. This motorcycle is not for beginners. Although it is similar to a Boss Hoss V8 and other V8 motorcycles, it is much easier to move around when the motor is off. It is extremely powerful (350 to 400+hp). One difference compared to a Boss Hoss or other V8 bike is this V8 motorcycle does not have a clutch "assist" vacuum canister to make the clutch-pull lighter, however it's not too bad. It's similar to an old 1970 Harley iron-head sportster. Not a clutch pull you'd want in stop and go traffic, but ok for highway riding and short rides. I do have a new "Easy-Pull" adapter (for the clutch lever) that will go with the bike that you can install if you want to lessen the clutch pull. I won't install it ...... Sorry, no single person test rides. Might take you a ride around the block if needed.   

New or rebuilt items installed on bike:  new front and rear tires with new wheel bearings, new hi-performance fuel pump, (2) new 600 Holley carbs, new Weiand Hi-rise tunnel ram (polished), new 20" long polished aluminum dual carb air scoop, new throttle cable, new 925 CA Odyssey battery, new 6" chrome risers, new front fork seals, rebuilt alternator, new 530 o-ring chain, new 55 tooth polished aluminum chain sprocket, (2) new polished aluminum 2-1/2 gallon gas tanks with custom mounting brackets, new fuel lines, new wiring, new alternator belt, new 160 degree thermostat and antifreeze fluid, new radiator hoses, new rear-view mirrors (Qty-2), new hand-grips, many other new misc. chrome parts.

Cosmetic issues:  Some light scratches on bike frame, side panels, front and back fenders, but nothing real noticeable. Bike is over 13 years old so will have some of these normally. There is a pretty good scratch on the left side of the front wheel (about 2" to 3" long) that is noticeable however. It's deep enough it can't be buffed out, but not a "structural defect where the wheel is any danger. Took a picture of this, but didn't come out well due to the shinny wheel. If you are interested in bidding on this bike, you should come see the scratch for yourself if possible. (I would strongly suggest seeing the motorcycle anyway if you're planning on bidding on it or making an offer) So far have had probably 2,500 people see the motorcycle at bike events and such with no one saying anything about the scratch on the front wheel.     

Other Notes: Due to the high price of gas right now and the not-so-good gas mileage this beast gets (maybe 12 to 15 mpg), I have the back two barrels of each carb completely shut off and wired shut. I replaced the fuel tubes that feed the back barrels with a solid chrome rod (exact same size of the factory aluminum fuel tube) and have a bent wire on the linkage for the secondaries. I also removed a linkage arm for both secondaries so the main throttle wouldn't try to open the secondaries. I still have all the parts to put back on the carbs to make the secondaries work again and if the bike is sold will be happy to install those parts for the buyer if needed. So, for right now, the bike is running on only the front two barrels of each carb. And it doesn't really need the back two barrels for how I ride the motorcycle. Running on just the primaries of each carb is plenty enough in my opinion ........ unless of course you have a death wish ........   

Important Note:  The VIN number in this Ebay ad matches the VIN on the clear title I have, but not the number on the manufacturer's VIN plate attached to the frame. Assume mistake was made in factory in 2000 when bike was assembled. The VIN number in this ad and on the title is factory-stamped in the frame neck and is the same number on the manufacturer's VIN plate except for one letter (indicating the assembly plant location of the motorcycle). Both VIN numbers were checked out by the state of Missouri with no problems. Contact me if any questions about this BEFORE you make an offer or accept the "Buy it now" option.
