RoscoeB's Harley-Davidson Flame Thrower

Here's the custom flame thrower that I built for my 1998 Harley-Davidson Road King Classic.

Now that the vid has been out there for a month or so, I'd like to thank everyone who took the time to post positive comments. Most questions received were "how do I build one" or "can I purchase a kit from you?" When I set out to purchase a kit myself, I was in the same boat that you were. There wasn't much info and the "kits" that were currently marketed used the old "kill and backfire" method (not good for an engine in my opinion). I spent about a month testing different theories, ignition methods, fuels, pressures, positions, etc. Once I showed the finished product to a few people, I was offered the opportunity to manufacture the systems. I soon found out that liability (and a lawyer that I consulted) closed that door. Unfortunately in todays society, no one wants to take responsibility for their own self or safety and I could be sued when some idiot blows themselves up with my system (or even the plans). Another American business stiffled. So as much as I'd like to help, I regretfully can't. For those of you deciding to research it, I can tell you that I've got about $700 in parts on the current system. You'll need the same if you want the BIG flames. For those that care, I'm working on a "turbo" flame that should be done in a few months. Keep posted for a new video. In any case, take care, ride safe and please be very, very careful if you decide to pursue the same.
