Nominating my 1976/77 Hercules W2000 w/ oil injection, one of 199 ever made!

This picture was taken at DGRR 2010


I bought the bike from Jess @ Rotary Recycle a few years ago after selling my RE5. Since owning it I've gone through everything and made sure everything worked.

The only parts replaced on the bike are the clutch discs (OEM) and a new battery (Odyssey drycell). That I know of, the bike is original.

With a little polish and time she'll clean up nicely!


These clutches are a PITA! The transmissions were KTM special built trannys and the clutches are a disaster! These would grab, straight from the manufacturer. I experimented with mine by using a combination of fiber and brass plates and also different types of fluids (ATF, standard gear oil and many others). The results were better but not anything to brag about, basically a lot of work for nothing


All loaded up and ready for the show
