Have you lost your mind? That's my '72 Duster.
And yes, an '82 FT500 Ascot, built out of the old White Brothers catalog with a very hotrod engine.

I've owned a few over the years, and a pretty wicked '71 Demon. With a 340 they make very quick, fun cars, much lighter than a 'Cuda or Charger. My first one circa 1987, taken with a Cobra replica that a buddy and I made right after the initial builder sorta butchered the build.I figured I'd be wrong, but a Ruster?

I did some averages for the Candytown MAVT event. Interesting to look at and see how the event played out.

Section 2 on Modern Zero is not correct. Reece and I had total failures on that. All 5s.

That just bumps the class average to just over 2. I always wanted to do something like this, but never had the time.

R100RS love in the 'ol shack. First step in the revival (besides a new bat-tray)? Why, a Bob's BMW "EPA" kit, of course!
Yuck!!
Plugs for the cylinder head, clean and sorta stealthy -
And all that universally hated EGR garbage goes away. Even removed those oddball crankcase vent shooters from the intake tracts. Bye, Felicia!!
Cleaned the oil and soot out of the airbox and inlet tubes...
Cleaned same oil/soot combo out of the carb inlets, reassemble, avgas in the IV, and... Houston, we have ignition!
Easy peasy since the carbs had been drained back in 2006 when the bike was parked. Brake fluid flush, then to tackle the steering head bearings.

Pingel party in the shack this week. Started with the 315R Montesa that I covered on the "What did you do with your Trials bike" thread, then kept the party going when the Pingel Party Box showed up -
Yeah, Pingel really piles on the swag when you order direct. First up, my "new" 1200 Bandit -
Next up, the Hot Rod Ascot -
Hot rod bikes need real fuel flow, not rubber-blubbers, right?

Nice Ascot! No kidding those guys lay it on thick with the swag.... I'm going to check and see if they make one that will work on my Transalp project...Pingel party in the shack this week.

Guarantee they have one and an adapter that will work, but they have a very limited application guide. Research and measurements are your friend here.Nice Ascot!

I’ll figure out the thread required for the fitting on the tank, definitely prefer to get a normal valve without the vacuum valve like the stocker. The main thing though is to find one that I can still operate easily through the hole in the fairing.
I have different aftermarket’rally’ fairings for the project bike and the hole is the same. Best get parts ordered!

The Hot Rod Ascot has an 18mm bung, many other Hondas of that era had 20mm ones. A simple caliper measurement solved it for me.

I am ok with that. I was hoping for a starter motor
