thanks for the compliments ! The handle bars were bought from ebay (USA) and are 7/8" Buck Horn style. You need this diameter tubing to fit the AJS throttle controls. The stock bars reduce to that thickness, but are thicker in middle to allow for concealed wires. No such option with the Buck Horns. One thing to note is that mirror vibration is drastically reduced with these handlebars, probably because there is slightly more flex to them. Cheers, Tony
William, the air filter was just 2x K&N clone filters off eBay and a T section pipe fitting I bought at a hardware store (actually for plumbing application but it worked fine for me!) It really is nothing technical, but worked at dream and looked so much better. Cheers, Tony w
Thanks tony I just read 8 post down and saw where you got the handle bars, I guess it pays to read at least some of the post those are exactly what I want, so I'll try to find me some like I said your bike looks cool and I'm old school, so I really like that look anyway thanks again bro
Hi Jimmy, thanks for the comments about my bike. I've just finished a xs650 engine swap so it looks different again now. Yes I did change the handlebars about 6 years ago via a USA website which I can't find now, but they are known as 'buck-horn' bars if you want to search for something similar. Significant reduce vibration through the grips as well :)
hi, yes you will need to re jet the carbs for free flows. I used 105 jets in mine as I live a t sea level. Best to buy either side of the 105s and do some trial and error tuning.
Cheers, I realise now I should have fired it up for the video. Sounded ok for 300cc, and up to 3000rpm.... after that it screamed a bit much for my liking. However, it has just had a xs650 Yamaha engine dropped in.... Will post a video link to it when I get it back from workshop next month :-)
tell me what you think of the frame quality and brake quality -- Also - how does it handle on curves and at low speed with that rake? At an auction there's an 883 mounted into this frame and I'd like to know if the strength is there for such an engine.
Tony, I just purchased A barhog But I do not have it in front me as I have not picked it up yet. What is the inlet size for the t section pipe fitting you used? what size air filter? Please let me know. Bike looks great
Did the handle bars come on it? And if so where can I buy just the handlebars? Can you please let me know, I've been looking for some like that all over the place and haven't seen any till these, it would mean a lot to me bro, by the way it's a very nice bike, I have the 250cc spyder but would love to have those handlebars.
is that where, or why ?? If where, from an AJS dealer in UK. If why, cos it was going cheap and I had a few ideas for it. Not everyone's cup'o tea, but I like it. Currently transplanting a xs650 yamaha engine into it. This should make it a little better......
Did you change the exhaust to a free flow? If so, did you have to tune the carburetor? I bought a Johnny Pag Pro Street and want to change the exhuast to louder ones. I just don't know if I am going to have to adjust/re-jet the carburetor.
Can I ask you what aftermarket air filter you used, I own the stock setup and can't measure it at home if you know what I mean so trying to find an air filter is an ordeal.
I have the free flows and better air intakes. I also rejeted. I'm in the process of bobbing mine and really like your rear fender. where did you get that or was it fabricated
That is superb! Can I ask where you got aftermarket parts please? I've got a stick EOS and want to start chopping it, small at first ie bars, risers, pipes but finding parts is a right bitch.

it can handle a 883 my buddy put one in a 2011 johnny pag spyder. but i wouldnt go much higher.

Once you change out all the plastic crap they are pretty good for the money.

Thanks a lot. That helps. I appreciate it!
Just picked up one of these going to put a 750 shadow twin in it nice bike
Did you put the 750 engine?
Beautiful bike, shame we didn't get to hear it though ;-)

Holy shit, is this ride ever sweet! 💝💝💝😃😃😃
I wish I could have one of these in Malaysia. :-)
Nice job!
It was a 125, then a 300 after conversion, and it currently has a xs650 Yamaha engine. See my other videos :-)
i cant seem to find it, if for the odd chance you see this and are willing to give me some info thatd be wickedly appreciated, thanks!

Amazing bike !!
Sweet
thanks. Too much to list on the mods really. The bike bears little resemblance to stock EOS now :-)
Ok

it aint chinese,jhonny pag is from california..just drop on the website in the section about us
I love the headlight. Is this stock?
Sorry man, I sold this bike years ago! The headlight was called 'vampir' or something, but I bought it ten years ago now !!!
Did the handle bars come on it? And if so where can I buy just the handlebars?

Cool bike man do you know where I can get my hands on one in Ireland?
Nice job - is the rear fender a one-off?
I have the free flows and better air intakes. I also rejeted. I'm in the process of bobbing mine and really like your rear fender. where did you get that or was it fabricated
Hi, the rear fender is custom. I bought a blank fender and cut it into that shape :)
link of the one you bought, I have a spider too, hope to customize it like that one day. One question, are you using double air filters? which ones?
That is superb! Can I ask where you got aftermarket parts please? I've got a stick EOS and want to start chopping it, small at first ie bars, risers, pipes but finding parts is a right bitch.
Screw the aftermarket parts questions. Where in the heck did you even buy this bike in the first place?
It very much IS Chinese. I should know, it's mine ;-)
This is a 125 isn't it??
