In June 2016 and AGAIN in September Project TARDIR did set Land Speed Records at the Ohio Mile!
M/F-125/4 & M/G-125/4

Project TARDIR received 2nd place at Championship of the Americas!

Project TARDIR gets the invite to the prestigious Hand Built Motorcycle Show in Austin TX held during the MotoGP race.

Project TARDIR is the acronym of Time And Relative Dimension In Race. Think back to 1965 and what would Honda have designed as a Land Speed race bike built on the 1965 Honda S65 platform? Streamline Tubes? Big Valve Heads? Super Skinny?  This is where the thoughts and design process started.
The final bike is now legal to be raced at land speed events that now offer the Classic Class. Pre 1981, air-cooled, original cases and head. Let's go racing!
This project is supported by many great companies and as the bike is built will tell what each has done.
Thanks SO MUCH to:

This is how it looked the day I picked it up. I had been looking at it for a while at a friend's shop and one day a deal was made and brought it home. The 1965 Honda S65 is a 63cc engine, 4 speed with manual clutch. Claimed stock HP was 6.2hp @ 10,000 rpm and claimed top speed was 56mph. The dry weight was 171lbs.

Picture
 After stripping everything off the frame I think it has some great lines. Because it is a stamped frame the modifications are harder than a tube type frame. The frame itself is really in great shape for being original and 50 years old.
Many brackets removed and holes filled. Chopping off the rear section and making it much shorter.
Making room for electrical connections at the head tube and clearance for wiring to be safely routed past the fuel cell./
Yet, doing all this and making it look like it was built this way from the factory. Many won't notice the little things, but I do!

Picture
In the mid 60's I loved the round aero shapes and smooth lines. So, I started with over $250 of streamline tubing just for the front end. Keeping everything small, aero, lite and unique!

Picture
The original front fork was a small leading link design. I kept the leading link concept for the new fork, but the stock fork just was not aero and clean enough.

Picture
The front fork was built using streamline 4130 tubing. It was cut and sectioned for the bends and also sectioned  to taper down at the top. The bottom was opened up to allow the new leading link shock to be installed in the fork leg.

The fuel cell was built to go into the frame. Venting is internal and still has a reserve.

Picture
      Jeremy at LC Fabrications made a very special fuel tank cap. Named the "Record Holder'!  Be sure to check out LC Fabrications and his work is awesome!!

Picture
The exhaust was handbuilt. The first 18" had an 1mm increase in I.D and then had a small step up for 6". Finally ending with a stainless steel megaphone ending with a turn down.
It was ceramic coated on the inside for a heat barrier and powdercoated with Hi-Temp black for durability. BREW does all their own ceramic and powder coatings!

Picture
The frontend of Project TARDIR needed a very narrow front hub. I was wanting the look of a bicycle high flange track hub. This hub is only 61mm (2.4") wide and has a diameter of 92MM (3.6") and has 32 holes. Again! A BIG THANKS to Jeremy at LC Fabrications for this special part!

Picture
In all the wheels I build I use Worldwide Bearings. Much less drag, lighter, longer lasting and more reliable. The best!

Picture
Picture
The wheels were built with Excel rims custom drilled by Buchanan's Spoke and of course the best spokes in the business were used, Buchanan's Spokes!
Picture
The paint of choice is PPG Vibrance Sexy Red! Start with a bare frame, then epoxy primer, orange pearl base and then Sexy Red. Finished with PPG Concept 2021 clear.  SEXY! Of course BREW does all their painting except Allen Hightower did all the pinstriping and graphics.

The Engine Build!
The Honda S65 engine had a horsepower output of 6.2hp @ 10,000 rpm. The S65 engine has a pop-up piston design and had much larger valves than later models. The ports were big from the factory. It also had oil line ports for carb heat. The engine is a 4 speed transmission with manual clutch. The ignition is a points type and 6 volt.
Project TARDIR has had many modifications to increase the horsepower. the first being the displacement being 88cc. The intake and exhaust ports just had a cleanup. The valves now have a 3 angle seats. The cam is now a NOS race camshaft from Kitaco along with some NOS valve springs. The oil port lines now are connected to a small custom engine oil cooler.

Picture
Picture
Picture
New piston on the left is MUCH BIGGER than the stock one on the right. Also is higher compression.

Picture
The stock camshaft is on the left and the Kitaco Race camshaft on the right has more lift but much more duration!

Picture
A custom intake was made for the larger carb.
