"In the next issue of MCM Classic, you can read Manfred's fat article about the absolute most brutal cafe racer that ever walked this earth. 
Maybe that's a somewhat subjective statement, but it's a Hedlund V-twin in an ISR frame anyway. We don't intend to reveal much more than that,
but anyone who doesn't buy the magazine to read about the bike will be missing out on a serious piece of Swedish motorbike history. Yesterday,
the builder, Anders Håkansson got to meet the men who made this build possible. Acke Rising from ISR and Nisse Hedlund." Manfred Holz, 19 October 2021

Source: SCANDINAVIAN VINCENT CLUB :

" This month's Vincent of the Month is no Vincent, but another bike that came, was seen and impressed us at Scandinavian Vincent Rally at Sjögestad Motell. Those of us who knew what Anders H was hiding at home in the garage have very clearly pointed out to him that it was compulsory to get that bike to the meeting.Those who had been involved in the construction of this very unique ISR-Hedlund, were motor geniuses Nisse Hedlund and frame genius Acke Rising (ISR) and then Anders has put it all together into a well working and well-sounding bike.1000 cc V-twin with overhead cams (OHC). Two Dell'Orto 40 mm carburetors. 35 mm Ceriani front fork and Öhlin's at the rear. Fontana 250 front brake and Triumph Trident rear brake.
Since Hedlund designed the engine with sidecar cross in mind, the entire bike is very light, only 185 kg fully fueled."

"The late Dave Griffiths, chairman of the Kings Norton Motorcycle Club and the Griff'Un. He wanted a big British V twin, and had missed the time when Vincents were cheap, due to him being young, married and broke. Later in life, when Vinnies had become too expensive for him yet again, he decided to build a bike of his own. "

"The tattered rags of memory tell me the tank was a thrown out Ambassador 2 stroke item, with Dave's welding skills permitting invisibly inserted panels to increase the size. The BSA frame was (this shows you how long ago it was) bought at a club bring'n'buy, for the price, risible even then, of 10p. The rest of the bike is an agglomeration of the British industry's finest parts bins and scrapyards, with the engine being an early 1930s 1,000cc AJS sidevalve. I followed it one night on a club ride, it had a V twin sound, but not like HD or Vincent, it was it's own animal." Thanks to Maxx England.

WHAT THE......?

245051527_4738723106151406_1017314484979181475_n 241264206_10158454721548652_3025433186926029780_n 241627484_10158454781518652_7287309189343934555_n

Confused? This appeared at an auction sale in the UK recently. I phoned the auction for details and was informed that this is a "mock-up" and not a functioning engine.

1930 AJS REPLICA:

RICHARD JOHNS has been in touch to let us know about his incredible one-off machine based on the AJS 1929/1930 1000cc overhead camshaft sprinter that was made to try and break the world speed record.The original is in the National Motorcycle Museum (UK). He has just finished it and it took 3 and a half years and 3500 hours of work! Richard says:

"For mine, I used Velocette Mk 1 OHC cylinders/head/cam boxes / Ducati pistons / HD Evo con-rods and made the rest of the engine from scratch. The internals are pretty well identical to the original chain-driven camshaft. I think the original naturally-aspirated incarnation looks better than the supercharged one that came later, so that's what I built....I decided to start a blog about this bike and some of my other builds when lockdown started last year www.vintageajs.uk . It's in excruciating detail so I can only assume that the folks that visit my site - and there are plenty, are either V-Twin nuts or suffer from insomnia.The engine and gearbox are in a road-registered 1931 AJS SB8 chassis and I'll start road testing soon"

bin bin-1ajsvtwinlhs

Richard wasn't joking about the detail on his website! It will keep you busy for a while and answer all your questions: WWW.VINTAGEAJS.UK UPDATE: THERE IS NOW A BRAND NEW INDEX PAGE for the v-twin:WWW.VINTAGEAJS.UK

(Chronologically, the posts start in May 2020 HERE with the restoration of a 350cc AJS K7. Following this, in June 2020 Richard starts his AJcette project, in which he converts his sidevalve AJS 350 to overhead camshaft. The AJcette project starts HERE. Next, in August 2020, Richard starts a project of fitting a supercharger to his 1934 MG vintage car, HERE . This is followed by the final post on the AJcette project HERE. Then, in September 2020 comes the first post in the AJS V-twin Project. It is HERE. )

VIDEOS: Very first start on a paddock starter. ......................................................................After replacing the magneto with a self-generating BTH mag and adjusting oil delivery, it starts easily on the kick and ticks over beautifully:
