The clone poll

[GTO]

Do clones look good in vintage bikes?

NO, GTO isn't an "anticlonite" and I don't hate clones like some want to believe.

(I voted "in some makes models")

I prefer Flatheads. But that's the way they where when I grew up.

it depends on the frame i hate briggs and tecs. but i like the way they look especially with mods it all depends on your taste , just like westbend motors they don't look good in every frame , but they are badass motors.

To hate a Briggs or Tecumseh is like hating woman in bikini's. ut:

I never paid more for a Tec or Briggs and don't care for the Briggs OHV engines with the plastic cam,, Probably the ugliest engine on the market today! :doah:

Westbends and Mc's are cool. :thumbsup:

Yes, clones are the easy way out and it shows. :thefinger:

This is a Stupid poll ! It would be like saying Do Bikini's Look good on All Women and the answer is NO !
But do you like women in Bikini's I would generally say YES !
Do I like Clones in Taco's ? That all depend's on what I'm going to be doing with that mini .
If I want to Haul Donkey -Yes !

If I want to work towards a restoration I would say No !

I do not like the look of the clone motors. Why do the have to lay the piston to the back of those engine. I,m a Rupp fan! I like the 1970 and up bikes and the clones look goofy on them. I know they make good power and theres a lot of hop-up parts for them out there. I have HF 6.5 clone thats been in its box for over a year because I don,t like the way it fits in most my bikes. I have been throwing around the Idea of trying a Honda gc160 on a rupp and route the exhuast around and out the left side of bike under the seat like the original exhaust. Thats about the only new style engine that at least likes more like the flat heads other than they exited the exhaust out the front of the engine. All frames designed back in the day were for flat head engines. I hope that someone will buy Tecumseh tooling and reproduce some HS50 and HS40 again. Maybe over in China thats were everthing else comes from anymore.

Not even that will make the springer campus bikes look good.

Clones are styled all wrong for minibikes

In my humble opinion,the cylinder should be up front and slanted forward. Then remove the gastank and locate it on the frame. The darn things look backwards on a bike! Besides,Flatheads are my passion.Big Tekes and Briggs.And anyone who says they hate Tekes or Briggs obviously do not know how to properly work on an engine. It is just that simple.Learn carburetion and ignition systems and then let me hear ya bitch. How many bikes I see in pics do not even have air filters on them! sacriledge!All that dirt being ingested into the engine.:hammer:

 

[minibikedude]

You got that right! Olskool, Plus flat head motor just sound better in a minibike.

The hell with the bike...I just want to look at a Hooter babe...Ogy
