I’ve built a few of these weapons for my clients. My boss bought four kits from the states for him an his mates. They are insane. Is anyone selling a kit. It’s time for me to buy one. I’ll say good bucks if anyone has an unbuilt one, but built will do.. Email me: dimvin at people dot net dot au

Scott has it right. This bike ain’t for everyone, but it completely does it for others! Though I had no part in building the RevTech “V” I own, I have built chops (best was a Kawasaki Z1000J2 powered Uncle Bunt framed lowrider,) and streetfighters, (including GSXR1100F super-light 165bhp “ratfighter” and modified T110 1966 Triton). The build quality was OK on mine, and it all fits together well enough. I have to say I fell in love with the “V”. It has great lines and some quality performance componants as standard. The Texas 2-1 pipe is the loudest I ever heard, even for big V twins, and the engine and 6-speed transmission are awesome. I never felt grunt like it, and without the feeling the bike wouldn’t make it through the corners, though it’s no Ducati. The biggest problem I have had is starting the thing. With high compression (9.5:1?) for such a huge displacement twin, the massive battery has to be 100% to stand a chance, and if it doesn’t catch first time, you find yourself holding your breath. I have found myself looking for friendly faces with jump leads, having become marooned at filling stations before…embarressing. I guess the next step is decomp buttons on the heads but why not provide those on the new motors as standard? Everyone I talk to about oversize V-twins says they are essential. The bike is for sale by the way, which I regret, but times is hard in England. Feb 2009

I built bike No 14. I vented the cap by drilling a hole and tapping it for a 1/4 -20 screw. I drilled a 1/8 hole in the center of the screw and put a 1/4 I.D. rubber tube over it. I ride the bike on Sunday mournings in a sunday morning competitive kind of way. Dragging the pegs the same as I do on my Yamaha R1 in full leathers. I am a Manufacturing Engineer and a Journeyman Tool and Die Maker if anyone needs help. e mail me Mine runs like a top and I have no problem keeping up with the other riders in our group. Which is fast company.

I talked to a guy that built one of those kits. He said it was realy not that difficult, not having instructions was realy no big deal. When you think about it, the guy that wants to build his own bike is a little different than the guy that buys a coffey table from your local furniture store, gets it home and breaks out his 3 piece screw driver set and a pair of pliers. Only to realize the instructions were not packed with the table. Now what !!!
If your even thinking about building your own bike your probably capable of figuring out the details but I’m sure Custom Chrome will be on it.
