Thought I'd share a couple of pics showing my brother's latest build. Another show stopper IMHO. Buell engine w two front cylinders. Won its first show yesterday, and more will come for sure. Hope you like it! Please excuse the poor quality of the pics. Taken w my cell...

Maybe I'm missing something. What do you mean by 2 front cylinders? Bike looks awesomer btw. Love how the exhaust came out.

He's referring to the rear cylinder that has the exhaust next to the intake of the front cylinder, That boils the fuel into vapor lock before the extra heat ceases the top end. Good insurance.
And you may see me tonight

Yes. Something like that. It also meant having two carbs instead of one. He went with flat slide Keihins. Also note the Accel ignition, textile cables and yellow(!) Accel spark plugs (might be hard to see...).

Or, like Harley's own XR750 racer here...
(...btw Bengt...looks like your brother has built another beauty there!) 
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Or Stevenson's cycle http://lh3.ggpht.com/_kquDjkzHXwQ/SpvwE5B8JEI/AAAAAAAAAYo/FcBRhaJv26c/MF8O1886.JPG?imgmax=800Yeah, it's been done. A few times or more. In Stevenson's case, for looks. In the case of the Vincent, MAYBE for cost/simplicity (tooling)? or looks. In the case of the H/D, must have been a specific reason for that one application, as it seems they didn't favorite it much, didn't adopt it for others.  AND JUST USING STANDARD ENGINEERING PRACTICES,  But it IS cool.
