A Modern Day Board Track Racer – the Psyclone
By Frederick Fortune
“Forget it, you can’t have one.” This wifely advice was delivered to me while standing awestruck in front of one of eight remaining Cyclone board track racers at the 2005 Guggenheim Art of the Motorcycle exhibit at Las Vegas’ over the top Bellagio Hotel.
No kidding I can’t have one, I agreed silently. Scratching through my dim memory I seem to recall decomposing barn find board track racers going for well north of $40K, with restored versions twice or three times that. Lord knows what this pristine yellow jewel, with all its polished nickel screw heads perfectly lined up, is worth.
Of course I had to have one. One problem—of the eight Cyclone racers believed to still exist, the last one auctioned for a record $530,000.
Whoops…well, what next? I had earlier acquired a 900cc 1964 iron head Sportster motor from dear friend, sportster goddess, Diana Pettijohn’s dusty garage shelf. It was originally intended for a stillborn project, and she had it completely rebuilt, drain plug to rocker box bolts by one of California’s legendary Sportster flathead, XR750 and XR1000 racing wizards Duncan Keller. Now I had a vintage appearing v-twin. It was a good start.
So the challenge begins. I need forks and a frame that exhibits the characteristics of these century-old racers, so girder forks were a given. I found something from Donnie Smith that will pass if one squints while standing on one leg. They even come with an adjustable Progressive shock—perfect. The forks were available in stock Sportster length so I didn’t have to bone up on frame rake and trail engineering either. Done.
Next was the frame. Shy of multi-thousands of dollars and lacking the skills, not to mention the tools, to fabricate anything, I came across a single front down tube rigid frame that would accept a Sportster motor with minor jiggling. It was also available with stock rake and no stretch. Things were getting better and better. Thank you Carolina Customs. The first problem was that the frame comes designed for a completely anachronistic 280ish rear tire and de rigueur low slung saddle. Realizing I needed serious help, I turn to motorcycle racing frame and suspension genius and friend, James Banke of Banke Performance in Felton, California for some judicious slimming of the rigid rear frame forks and addition of a bicycle style seat post.
