Default 200 mph naked frame Sportster

An altered Sportster at Bonneville around 1970 ran over 200 mph with a naked frame. This is a small club of maybe 55 bikes in all of LSR worldwide.
Anyone know of this or have a photo? Thanks

Is this the one? A search for Turnip Eater shows a bike with a fairing.

I've run over 200 several times on my naked Sportster, although it uses a Truitt frame.

Nice, photo of the bike please... Do you have a guesstimate of the HP of your bike ?
I do know the 165 MPH naked frame Big twins running one mile on pavement have about 130 HP

You're looking for Warner Riley's Sportster.
He went 206 mph in 1973. One way.
Nitro-methane powered.
