5,7? it´s 351? I have not seen many w that engine,several 302,many 350 but fev 351.Nice ride!

Kiss, it's a 302 Ford, just recieved the paperwork, what sort of BHP should it have?

Thanks Elliot, got in touch with Jimbo, we're going to meet up when the weather gets better. He has a V8 Chopper and used to import Kannons.

Took my Kannon for the first ride today, can't get the smile off my face. It is so much easier to ride than I expected and surprisingly nimble! Difficult to push backwards though, I can see why some have reverse. The bike is a bit like a V Max on steroids.

Is this ok Anna?

Thanks Elliot, how about this one, a tubo'd Rod?

Is there a gallery for members bikes?

Nothing wrong with Rice Rocket front or rear seats

Is it practical to fit a smaller rad? I noticed the V8 Choppers run a small one which looks much better.

Hi Elliot, the times are over measured 1/4 mile, they are proper events and the riders know how to ride them. I would like to see some of the times from the V8 bikes, the U Tube videos are very impressive! What top speed do the big blocks make?

It was Elliot who I was replying to, read his post, he talked about the modified Busas

As far as anyone running the 1/4 mile with any number beginning with "8", I have a problem there. I know how these bikes do against the Jap bikes at the track and I know there are WAY faster bikes than what Adrian ran. I've never seen any get anywhere close to an 8 second anything. I have ...

Thanks Wildman, any more photos of that peachy ass pleeease?

Are there any V8 owners in UK who'd like to meet up?

It stood up without a stand

Another view.

This was one built by my friend Si Harris, I made the rear wheel, 15"x15" with a 345 tyre, unfortunately it was unrideable so he cut the back end off and fitted a 300 avon.

Thanks for your welcome, can't wait for the ice to thaw so I can get out on it

Maybe I got it wrong, I think its a 350, but doesn't that work out 5.7?
I wanted to go wider on the rear and noticed some of you run car tyres, why is that please? I built a V Max and V Rod both with 330 rears.

Hi, I'm from the UK and have just got a Kannon 5.7, really like the site and the "monster bikes"
