    Engine almost ready, Iv;e got one more trick up my sleeve,, I picked up a Side Draft Weber last week with a Manifold to suit a Shovel Head, Iv'e chopped of the Shovel Flanges off and have make a New Flange to bolt on to the S/S Manifold, It's out getting Welded back together, I will post some photos once I get it back.

    That looks like a lot of weight hanging out there. Does it require any extra bracing to keep the carb out there?

    Yes , There is a tab under the Manifold to bolt a Brace on to it

      yes a 45 weber should have a fair  induction noise , i rebuilt a RG500 years ago, the induction noise on that with 4 flatside carbys wide open was above the engine noise Awsome!

     

        P.S  im still here Walka just been busy rebuilding the MX bikes finished mine now doing an 85 i bought for my young Fella , and with summer coming i ripping out the chevy of the old lewis ski boat for a freshen up plus been trying to rebuild a 67 model Human so it can handle the MX races coming up LOL that seems to the hardest rebuild ive ever done as its pretty run down

    Made a start on the Front end on the weekend

    Planing on trying to turn one of the Attitdue Inc Springer Front Ends in to a hill climb style one. 

    started off by chopping up  the front Hoop to work out how much room I has going to end up with for the Narrowglide Wheel,, Looks like I have to get the Rockers Machined down and a Custom Hoop made up, No Prob

    More up dates later

    Im using a basic Exhaust this time, Got my hands on a Paughco 2 into 1 and I bought a Baffled Turnout Tip from Moon on my last trip to Japan. All Iv'e done is cut 12" off the Exhaust, Simple but Effective

    I still haven't deside if it's going to be a one or two piece ,,,, The joys , I mite take another 1/2 off the sides tonight, it still looks a little high for my liking

    The Springer I was doing got the flick as I couldnt get the Wheel and Brake set up it fit once all the mods where done, We are now selling a Vintage OEM Style Springers  so Im now using one off them , sometimes you just carnt beat the factory
