I was going to say that the photo in post #3646 looked like Shul's work.I think this has been posted already but is still a great story. The video is long but well worth it. I've loved the Blackbird since I heard about it as a kid.
Memory's.

I did all the fabricating. Put the blower lower and closer to the bike than the original kit.Somebody did a beautiful job with the blower installation, not to mention everything else.
Putting the big cubes on top of sportster wheels makes for a serious monster.This was my son and I's toy for a few years. He got married and when she got pregnant there was no more racing. I called it my little sportster. Had a lot of fun with the big twin guys who figured they could outrun any sportster, of course that was before what I had was discussed. Not many big twins run in the 9's at 140. Started as a sportster, bored cases for larger jugs. and longer stroke. 3 13/16x 5" got 113 CI. S&S SuperD, custom heads running 16-1 compression, andrews cams. Tranny was all back-cut and hardened. PMC brakes stopping an 11" MT slick on the back. We used a big truck starter on 24v to start it. Air shifter with shift points at 7500 RPM. View attachment 138944
After the bike I was so involved with racing at a pro level (crew) I had no time with Family work and the racing efforts. I started riding on the street again and getting into custom Big Bore V-twins.Nice. About the time we were getting it sorted out and figuring out what we were doing we had to quit. Oh well, it was fun....
