The Guy's a genius, he makes multicylinder Kawasaki two strokes based on the 750H2 he's done a 1000cc/4 and a 1250cc/5
he built a 2300cc V12 from two Kawasaki Z1300's, he's done a 1600cc V8 from two Z900's
Built a 5 litre V-twin engined bike The Flying Milyard
Built a 700cc V-twin from two Matchless 350's
Built a 375cc 6 cylinder Honda Six Racer replica, he made virtually every part of this bike

And loads more...

He also has some lovely bikes in the Barber museum.

Best of all, his how to videos, show how it's done.

Pip Higham did the same with the Suzuki GSX1100

Some clever chaps out there.

Velocettes smile






People did make V-twins using Matchless 350 parts, though. Harley WLA/C sidevalve bottom end with Matchless/AJS barrels and heads.

He's very talented. You'd think he'd have a workshop full of CNC machines and 3D printers, then you see him hacksawing crankcases in half, extending crankshafts, and turning out bikes that you'd swear were production bikes.
Great work.

In one of the videos, he explains that he never draws any of his designs in advance, he just works them out in his head, and then starts building. Pretty incredible.

The downhill push bike he made for his son is pretty awesome.
