Nicely done video. I did mechanic work on a speedway team back in the 70's. Dont use grinders anywhere near an open engine. We used Jawa 500's. Cheaply made engine with no room for error. Nitro-methanol mix with total loss oil (alcohol and castor oil don't mix). Two or three degrees off on timing burned up the (expensive) piston. Bike weighed under 200 lbs. Direct drive transmission, mild steel front forks, so you could bend it back after a crash and keep racing. Our rider's mom called it all off after he broke his leg. Jawa updated the motor to a 4 valve setup anyway so we where outclassed and getting raw nitro these days would be a nightmare. Hope this might help others...

[@linzimumford3829]

Hi, please continue ;-)

[@luxx3342]

Damn this is awesome! Definitely deserve more attention. Excited for more to come

[@christyrogers7707]

I actually have one of these motors! It's in a Sambron dumper truck & has a lot of concrete splashed on it but if I can't fix the dumper I was thinking it would look great in a Vintage style bike frame. Looking forward to seeing more of this build! Good luck! 👍

[@patriotfour3374]

I would love to have a little more info on the engine. It looks perfect for this project! I have been collecting stuff to build my own board track replica but can not decide on engine. Nothing looks the part. But this engine is beautiful! Great work!

[@rd.blacksmithing]

Thank you! The engine is a Bernard, Model 810. Its 8hp, 270cc. If you would like some more pictures, send me a dm on Instagram @rd.blacksmithing .

[@rd.blacksmithing]

@@rd.blacksmithing Awesome! Looking forward to the new vid!

[@SigurdtheRyder]

What engine are you using, and are they readily available? I live in Texas > USA....

[@rd.blacksmithing]

The engine is a Bernard, Model 810. Its 8hp, 270cc. Built by Bernard moteurs in France. I live in Belgium so I don't know if they are available in the US. Maybe take a look on Ebay?

[@SigurdtheRyder]

@@rd.blacksmithing just di....no luck but I will keep looking....want to find a 500cc engine similar in looks to what you have there....

[@rd.blacksmithing]

@@SigurdtheRyder There's also a company called Timeless motorcycle company. They sell replica Harley Davidson motorcycles and engines which are made with the original patent's.

[@whalesong999]

Only American engine I'm familiar with that is arranged in a similar way would be one of the original Gravely engines which had a Bendix type magneto and was a "T" head with the valves on opposite sides and the mechanism housed much like old motorcycle engines.

[@oerman70]

Any updates on this build? I,m also from belgium and thinking about building a boardtracker with a bernard engine. I already builded 4 boardtracker frames that got a harley wla bottemend and matchless cilinders for a friend of mine. I still have material left from that project to build one more frame so thats my plan
