Cummins Chopper?

[TnLRacing]

Did anyone see the monster garage Cummins powered chopper tonight??? OMG:--)

 

[Glen Pratt]

I just watched it. One word WICKED!!!! -Glen

 

[QRTRHRS]

For a man that did not want a trike, Jesse really got into riding that beast.

 

[ndurbin]

I watched that too. I can't imagine that thing having two wheels and staying upright. we've been looking for something to do down at the shop for next semester.

 

[Steve St.Laurent]

It's on again right now - discovery channel.

 

[skobylenski]

That was possibly the COOLEST thing I've ever seen. The best part was that the total cost was under $9000



I want one

 

[RichBennett]

I just finished watchin it !!!!!! F***in' Awesome ! I want one !!! It was like 3 of my favorite things all in one ..... bike,diesel, and a rat rod !

 

[catoiler]

Ya know whats kool,That silver car in the opening with Jay Leno, My Kid smoked him out in that car a couple months ago at a mopar show in Van Nuys,He forgot how much the truck smokes when hammered!First time I ever seen him get embarrassed!

 

[Jeff Clark]

That's in my top two favorite episodes. Right up there with the wheel standing ambulance.

 

[HoleshotHolset]

I can't believe I missed that.



Now I'm gonna go have a look see if the 'net has anything on this new chopper... .

[Forrest]

Anyone see a radiator?

 

[Fred Swanson]

That was one the best episodes I've seen. a 14 Liter Diesel Trike. But one thing is missing, Where's the Smoke? Turn it up!

If you look at the photo's that HoleshotHolset provided, check the right side view just in front of the rear wheel and you will see the radiator. They used a much smaller custom made one assuming with no load that the engine would run cool enough. It's not like this beast is going to see more road time.



Re: weight. Remember the thread about the Mad Dog bike? I recall that beast going around 3500 lbs. No where near this combo but still heavy and on two wheels.

Someone told me Jesse is already started on his next chopper project!

. Maximum power: 108,920 hp at 102 rpm

Maximum torque: 5,608,312 lb/ft at 102rpm

LarryB,



That's going to require more than three wheels!!! That trike is about as cool as it gets. How about we go in the other direction and build an ISB 5. 9 trike. Put the seat back up over the axle and straddle the mighty Cummins! We'd need more exhaust pipe though... just enough to route it behind us and keep it out of our faces. I think the lift pump problem would go away in this configuration.



Would you keep the intercooler out in front?

Rough weekend and rougher monday. I was sleeping long before Monster Grage started. But... . my wife, god bless her, recorded it for me!!!!! She rocks!!! I watched it tonight and that was by far the coolest thing ever built on that show! It's gonna be tough to top that one.

They finally got back to building true monster's. I was losing faith in some of their creampuff projects.
