"Built in England and Powered by America". Timeless lines and raw
power combined with effortless handling and exhilarating performance,
the Ace 1200CR Street Special is a Limited Edition bespoke motorcycle
built in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, by the custom and speed shop Krazy
Horse, in a collaboration with Ace Café London's Stonebridge Motor
Company celebrating this years twin anniversaries of Harley-Davidson, it
being their 110th, and having originally opened in 1938, the 75th of
the Ace!
Fully detailed with high gloss black powder coated cylinder heads,
primary cover, cut down timing case and an Ace Café Racer points cover,
the normally aspirated engine draws air in through a traditional "bell
mouth" on a S&S Cycles Super E carburettor, fitted with a K-Tech
choke, and breathes out via a polished stainless steel hand-built
two-into-one-into-two tuned exhaust system with megas!
Feeding the engine's hungry Wiseco forged pistons, courtesy
Crane roller rockers, is an Andrews N4 profile camshaft lifting Black
Diamond valves, with "single fire" spark ignition, powered by a "single
fire" coil, provided by the highly regarded H4 system from Crane. A
Kevlar 6-plate Barnett performance clutch makes sure that power in
transferred smoothly to the 5-speed gearbox. The sprockets, carrying a
heavy duty 530 triple S O-ring chain, deliver power to the wheels via
PBI alloy 48 tooth rear and 23 tooth front sprockets, which team up with
gear ratios at 10.407 for 1st gear, 7.436 for 2nd, 5.53 for 3rd,
4.583 for 4th and 5th, top gear at 3.93 making for a quick bike.
Goodridge "carbon black" brake lines and stainless steel fittings
hook up the special lightweight black anodised Ace callipers, 6-piston
front and 4-piston at rear, machined from 6082-T6 aluminium by Harrison
Billet, with a pair of 11-inch laser-cut diamond ground finish induction
hardened stainless steel "wavy" contour discs providing race track
performance braking.
The complimentary efficient and effective suspension consisting of
polished 39mm conventional telescopic forks, with classic black rubber
gaiters protecting the stanchions, is fitted with progressively wound
springs from Progressive Suspension - eliminating end sag and reducing
dive. At the back is a pair of dialled-in, emulsion type, Ohlins S36E
twin shocks with mechanical pre-load spring adjusters.
Laced with stainless steel spokes, the polished aluminium hubs and
17-inch Morad TR type reinforced aluminium rims, front at 3.00in and a
4.25in at the rear, wearing Metzeler Lasertec tires of the newest high
silica materials and compound technology, with a classic tread pattern
design ensuring effective water dispersal for safe wet riding and long
lasting mileage, all combines to ensure that the bike is "sure-footed"
and handles as well as it goes!
With a single black seat at just 30 inches high, 7-inch headlight,
"Blackeye" back light, 3.5 gallon "Manx" aluminium fuel tank and 8.45
pint oil tank, both with 13 coats of House of Colour primer, paint and
lacquer, finished in a deep gloss black paint and equipped with clip-on
bars with integral bar end indicators, machined Storz rear-set foot pegs
and an analogue rev counter with built in digital speedometer, by
Motogadget, mounted on the polished aluminium top yoke, all weighing in,
with fluids at only a little over 385lb on an axle to axle wheelbase of
4ft 8in, this bike is light, nimble and fast - it's a café racer!For more information visit ace-cafe-london.com/Ace-Cafe-Racer.aspx, and motorcyclelive.co.uk.
