Busch Brothers – Far East XS650
Danny - I was hoping for better sun, but Lanceman was after a Japanese vibe with the pics, kind of misty Mount Fuji stuff, and I trust his eye. Think he did good 
The bike details, a 1979 XS650 SF. Started chopping it on Christmas Eve, 2009 in Seattle. (Almost) finished it in fallof 2012 in Reno. I’ve said it a million times, but if it weren’t for Shinya Kimura, I wouldn’t be into choppers. Before I saw his work, all I cared about were cars.

Is the Motus V4 Baby Block Crate Engine the Future of Old School Hot Rodding?
Is the Motus V4 Baby Block Crate Engine the Future of Old School Hot Rodding?
We wrote about this before and there was a long discussion afterwards, but after all of the hopes and doubts and wishes and skepticism that has surrounded this project and engine, the imminent availability of the KMV4 as a crate engine just gets me all warm and fuzzy. And for all of you who may have missed it or forgotten about it, I've included the video below, there's a few minutes of talk leading up to a short dyno run at the end. Listen to that dyno run with your speakers turned way up. Then, listen to it again. The future of old school hot rodding? Oh yeah!
