What is Considered a Day 2 Car?

[njsteve]

You're right. The second owner had no idea how rare the car was (one of four produced) and was preparing to cut it up to be a race car. Luckily he and his buddies were drunk when they assembled the engine (and installed one of the pistons backwards on the rods). The engine broke a valve on start up and shoved it throught the piston and cracked a cylinder head. He then got pissed and rolled the car into storage until selling it to owner #3 who moved it to the spot you see in the photo. I bought it from him in '87. It hadnt rolled a tire "in anger" since late 1973. It has 16,000 miles on it now and has run a best of 12.77 @ 111 mph in street trim.

here's the link to the full story...

Anybody remember these? The best sounding header mufflers ever. Wish I could find a set or three.

[budnate]

who made those???? I have a really old set of Light metallic blue ones that I use on my run stand, I picked them up from a auto shop that closed.

Cyclone made them. They later came out with a "Junior" model that just wasn't the same.

You know the Day 2 Trend is in full swing at every Harley Davidson Dealership in the world!! about 3% leave the Dealer the way it came in! 75% get a Carb or F.I. adjustment and add a set of Mufflers or complete new set of Pipes. and it goes from there. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$!!!!!!!!!!
