"you get used to it, or you die. Or if the bike falls over, the heat from the engine just burns through your legs and bones, either way it's alot of fun-" The wisest of words.
The two wheeler boss hoss' have a low center of gravity and ride very smooth. They really don't want to tip over and if it tips slowly over it will hit the crash bars and not go all the way over, on a normal circumstance. It does take a man and a big boy to upright it. Turning the bars the correct way and pushing ahead works well. They are expensive bikes, but very stable. Worth a demo ride.
pull the spark plugs out on the left bank and change them they could be fouled . The carburetor doesn't work like fuel injection where it effects specific cylinders. could be bad plugs or ignition wires or something more serious in the valve train or cylinder
I was going to mention this too, and swap the plug wires, maybe throw on a new distro cap. Check the spark on the 2 plug wires of the dead cylinders to see if the distributor is even sending spark to them, If so, could be bad plugs, if not, you got other issues.
@@muckinyoface It's not 4 carbs, it's 1 4 barrel carburetor, it feeds all cylinders. Unless there was a rag down 2 of the intake runners, they are getting fuel and air.
I used to build these from Kits at Atlanta Boss Hoss around 1995. They are very well built, well designed, and ZERO vibration. 0-60 around 3-4 seconds. Had great fun riding them. That one you have looks exactly like the one the Owner Kent Barnes had. That one wasn’t converted to chain, it had belt from factory. The previous model was chain drive. The vacuum boost usually has enough boost to pull the clutch once to start it so you don’t need to use the foot clutch or lock ever under normal conditions.
These bikes are ridiculous. 4:06 Paint the front half of the gas tanks pink so that it makes the rider look like he has clown testicles to match the clown bike.
In about 93 I was tig welding at a shop in grand prairie, tx. One day a regular customer named curtis who owned a Volkswagen shop, came into the shop. When he pulled up it sounded like a yacht coming in. He was on an early boss hoss. I did some exhaust welding for him, and when he left the shop he burned that tire for a quarter mile down the road. Curtis stood about 5'2" and had no fear. He became a regular dealer of the boss hoss and every new bike he built he would come into the shop. Every bike was better than the last. He would go to Tn. and pick up a kit, bring it back and build it. I remember one he put a 383 stroker on it. The brochure for these bikes at that time listed top speed as unknown. They first were 70k - 80k but that price kept going up and up.

If you keep the clutch engaged while it’s not running it will make the pressure plate weak over time. I would go to the junkyard and get an electric vacuum pump, many gm vehicles have them and hook it up to that clutch master so I could leave the clutch disengaged when it’s off.

I was on the covered porch at EJ KARRS bar , A guy came by on a boss hoss 502 nitroused up and cracked the throttle @ 50mph. That bike smoked the tire for atleast 100yds ,craziness I tell ya .
You must not know shit about trucks or cars. I'm just saying that the Engineers at GM did not design any of this shit. This was whoever built it. You heard them say it, "it has a cam in it." A cam, wha- you mean they took apart the stock components full well knowing it has a chance to be more unreliable? It probably broke down because they were beating on it all day with a tiny radiator. These engines also didn't really like to Rev that high due to being a Pushrod V8.
I'd start checking all the plugs, distributor, then lifters, cam, and valves. I'd replace the distributor cap regardless. They need to remember, it's just a combustion like the bikes they work on.
@@FartsInTanks well.. the parts I mentioned are pretty standard tune up items and even by factory standards should be replaced regularly. Cap, rotor, points, coil, wires and plugs. Every couple years minimum, they're cheap like borscht
The first Boss Hoss I saw was at the Crazy horse monument in South Dakota in 2004. I was walking in the parking lot looking at all the bikes, it was during Sturgis. I saw this massively wide bike pulling in so I went over and talked with the guy. That thing impressed me to no end.
Huge design flaws on wheels. Never seen one I liked. But the concept is cool, and I'd love to make something like it. Just look at what that "crazy" Allen Milliyard did with a V10 Ferrari..
I was at a biker bar on the ILLINOIS RIVER and there was a really big guy riding a BOSS 502 "supercharged " 2 wheeler with double bottles of NITROUS ! This guy was so big that the bike looked " normal size " . It was all tricked out, definitely a crowd gatherer .
I been hearing guys say they go to the dark side. Meaning put black walls on their bikes. They all say you have to try it. It's nothing like you think and everyone that tries it runs them from then on. I am going to run them in the 1940 with the sidecar but just can't get myself to try it.
@@michaelbarnett8886 I went darkside a few months ago on my 2018 Goldwing DCT, absolutely love it and do not ever see going back to a MC tire on the rear.

Narrower ratios in such a broad low stress engine would be trivial. If it had insane aero thus top speed perhaps but there isn't much to gain with more ratios in this machine.
Whenever I think of upgrading from my vulcan 900 to a 2000 or a roadliner, I back off because I think it might be too big or too heavy. Then I see this thing, and puts the others in perspective.
A friend of mine has a boss hoss trike. It has a chopped ford 9" rear axle and 350 turbo trans. Custom fiberglass GMC truck bed with cover, custom paint. It was awesome. He would let me and the wife ride it to car shows and on cruises. By far, the coolest and fastest thing I've driven.
There's a guy in my area that rides a Chevy V8 powered 3 wheeler, but the fenders and entire back end is from a 63 Corvette Stingray. Probably the coolest and most professional thing you've ever seen.

Sean, I can't tell you what I think about the "Boss Hoss", I have never ridden one and I haven't worked on one except the one Ozzie Osborne had, I rebuilt the Rochester Quadra-jet and another Mechanic road tested it. He did say the Q-jet was set up perfectly. I still enjoy your channel and watch the shows as much as possible. Thanks for sharing.
My name is Ron I seen your video about the boss hausa and the way you started your vidio is the exact way I started building my motor cycle. I was sitting in my buddy's basement starring at his Harley frame and since I had an extensive background of putting big motors in small cars I said that a small block chevy would fit right in there. Since then I have made 2 V8 bikes , one 4speed and the second one an automatic three speed with reverse. What prompted me to contact you was all the stuff you had to go through just to start it. If you would like some more info I can send some pictures of mine and show you how a V8 bike should be made. Mine is called Chevy-Davidson and I live in St. Louis. Back in 1986 St.louis Post Dispatch wrote an article about mine and put a real nice picture in there with it, it was in the Sunday paper section called hot wheels. Hope to here from you soon. Did an article about mine and put a real nice picture in there.

Cap
He almost lost it when he started the bike.
Heh I laughed when he jumped.
Love the no shame game of standing up for your FAITH !! Good on Y’all !!
It doesn’t even “blup blup blup” like a motorcycle, it “vrooms”
When your finally to fat for a Harley
HAH! At long last...
Jeffrey demonstrated poor spelling.
gramer
@Arthur Morgan no
The world's fattest twins rode Harleys. Your comment is irrelevant.
His nonchalant attitude toward major accident possibilities always makes my day😂🤙
New(er) rider here. About a year in and ride a '19 Indian Scout Bobber. That's enough for me right now. I can only imagine a v8 motorcycle. NICE!
Feel like the picture of his wife was a “help”😂
If this had an actual 5 speed transmission, it would be pure evil.
I guess it would be simply impossible to ride 😅
It’s traction limited, more gears won’t do it much good on acceleration. Won’t make it go much faster either due to wind resistance
Narrower ratios in such a broad low stress engine would be trivial. If it had insane aero thus top speed perhaps but there isn't much to gain with more ratios in this machine.
Whenever I think of upgrading from my vulcan 900 to a 2000 or a roadliner, I back off because I think it might be too big or too heavy.
Then I see this thing, and puts the others in perspective.
Best part is that kid like smile after you started it up. This is why we love bikes.
Farmers legally have to call their pigs Kawasaki's lmao!!!
I died laughing aha
I love how millyard's shed built V10 makes this bike look like a total joke, especially from a technological point of view.
Millyard is something, quite the engineer
Allen is whole new breed of buildrr 😅
Maybe from a technological point of view but not an aesthetic point of view. The Millyard V10 is hideous.
@@Acaidia And you think this is pretty? 🤣🤣
@@jonathanevans1305 No I don't think its pretty. It looks cool and I respect their ingenuity but it isn't something I would personally buy.
lmfao the look on seans face when he started the bike as the torque of the bike about put him on his side think he had a code brown moment lol
A friend of mine has a boss hoss trike. It has a chopped ford 9" rear axle and 350 turbo trans. Custom fiberglass GMC truck bed with cover, custom paint. It was awesome. He would let me and the wife ride it to car shows and on cruises. By far, the coolest and fastest thing I've driven.
I remember seeing this ridiculous contraption over 20 years ago.
Sean: *loves it because its american*
also Sean moments before: " it is stupid"
'Stupid' in this case being a good thing.
"There is nothing more American than this bike right here" Well, wait until you hear about that Dodge Tomahawk and the Millyard Viper V10 bike.
Only.......... the Millyard bikes are Made in England. : -)
And nothing is more American than a cross plane v8 with pushrods
and there nothing more british then allan millyard
There's a guy in my area that rides a Chevy V8 powered 3 wheeler, but the fenders and entire back end is from a 63 Corvette Stingray. Probably the coolest and most professional thing you've ever seen.
“We took our bikes to a track” yeah sure 😂😂
Take it over to Vice Grip Garage. Derek will have it running like "fact-tree."
"I don't knoooooooo!" ;-)
Ya know, a little rust, and a guy could fall in love with a bike like that, as long as they fix the fuel make it happener.
I’ll be dipped
Hell probably start by changing out the sparkulators
that thing looks amazing. when you started it up, the look on your face had me rolling :-)
remember when ever you ride a motorcycle hug the double yellow line and ride side by side make sure that oncoming traffic have to swerv to avoid you just as long as you can ride side by side. GIVE IT UP NOT SAFE. Rember fellas saftey 3rd cool first
bike: *starts*
people trying to problem solve *indistinctive chatter*
A V8. How quaint. There's a man called Allen Millyard who scoffs at V8 bikes from astride his V10 viper engined bike.
1200 hp with 300 shot nos
🤕🤕🤕🤕😍😍😍😍
Concept motorcycle

Its the link for the v8 bike
That moment you realise the 350 is the smallest of the boss hoss'. You can get a 572
When it torqued him over on the first start up, my heart grew three sizes
6:50 when he started that thing evin I pooped a little lol
that radiator fan makes it look like a DIY bike someone put togetther in their garage!!
Who else thinks he should turbocharge a scooter.
Yed
Lol yes
Hell yeah
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas!
Who thinks he should hook up V8 engine to a mini scooter
That track you took those bikes on I see encourages passing with the dotted line going down the middle. What an idea!!
Old school 350 is cool but getting one with the new 6.2L LS/LT engine that puts out 435hp would be insane.
Boss Hoss has been making those for a lot of years
“As simple as taking the tank off.” That doesn’t look simple at all.
Your pre-definitely-not-a-race banter is clutch!
Dude I laughed my ass off and kept replaying you as you did the initial start up. Your face man, you crapped man. You should of seen your face...lmao.
u not gonna belive but those 2 cyl moto guzzi do exact same thing. U start the bike wobbles.
Took him a second to realize he just crapped his pants, yet he still needed to smile and play it off for the video...lol
12:48
"It didn't fix itself yet...."
That's my trying to fix most things :-)
I would have nightmares of dropping this bike then getting crushed by it.
No kidding. I'm sure he said it at some point but how much does it weigh?
@@jarnold1789 500 kg is what i saw so 100 more than a Goldwing
i think you'd have to fall under the bike to get crushed by it.
even if you drop it on its side, it is still semi-upright.
A number of years ago, maybe the 1960s or 1970s there was a guy with a V-8 drag bike making the rounds. His bike had TRUTH etched on his valve covers. Anybody remember this guy????? Detroit way or the Midwest....
Him: "because it's America"
Also him: puts Indians doing chess video***
I feel like the only way to ride that is dressed like Apollo Creed during his walk to the ring.
a Boss 302 would have been more “befitting” lol
that closed course track looked a lot like hwy bumps on the side lmao love it.
Fouled plugs just like a bike can't let em sit for to long with out running change plug wires while you're at it .
The undisclosed track i go to ALSO has road stripes!
That is literally the most American thing I have ever seen and I love it, I’m scared shitless of it, but I love it
Sean,
I can't tell you what I think about the "Boss Hoss", I have never ridden one and I haven't worked on one except the one Ozzie Osborne had, I rebuilt the Rochester Quadra-jet and another Mechanic road tested it. He did say the Q-jet was set up perfectly. I still enjoy your channel and watch the shows as much as possible. Thanks for sharing.
That's badass
Bike falls. Crushes and burns his. Legs. “This bike it a lot of fun”
Seems like a good starter bike to me.
Perfect starter bike
Lol
Boss hoss bikes is 1 of my dream bikes...This 1 with the flag on it is not to shabby...Check the plugs and wires
My name is Ron I seen your video about the boss hausa and the way you started your vidio is the exact way I started building my motor cycle. I was sitting in my buddy's basement starring at his Harley frame and since I had an extensive background of putting big motors in small cars I said that a small block chevy would fit right in there. Since then I have made 2 V8 bikes , one 4speed and the second one an automatic three speed with reverse. What prompted me to contact you was all the stuff you had to go through just to start it. If you would like some more info I can send some pictures of mine and show you how a V8 bike should be made. Mine is called Chevy-Davidson and I live in St. Louis. Back in 1986 St.louis Post Dispatch wrote an article about mine and put a real nice picture in there with it, it was in the Sunday paper section called hot wheels. Hope to here from you soon.
Did an article about mine and put a real nice picture in there.
Imagine getting stopped in the Philippines because you have a low cc bike in the expressway 😂🤦♂️
Loved that 'Merica' segway. Marines, Astronaughts, Burgers and Chess. Wait hang on...?
Q: WTF?
Plug wires ? Cap? I want to see a re-test after repaired(on closed track of course)
8:10 You can hear it sipping the gasoline
It's got a cracked distributor cap making it crossfire on those two cylinders.
Exactly a points/timing issue
@@timthomson9376 not points mr. Thomson HEI. They haven't had points since the 60s. It's a cracked cap I can tell by the sound. I been fixing cars for 30 and some change. Heck I am typing this in my shop.
@@JohnDoe-ir2ft man if you can tell that from the sound maybe you should troubleshoot my truck haha
