You've got some serious work ahead of you with that lump. "A+" for effort if you get that one running.

Hey, nice find & food for thought!
I wanna do a really unusuall ,but fully functional ,front end
I know where theres small trailer leaf springs & shackles etc.......

some Indians actually had leaf sprung girders back in the day......Hmmmmm thats got me thinking......

So so totally get a set of leaf springs welded up to be the front forks. Would not be great in terms of suspension but would look awesome

Thought about using either an SU or a remote floatbowl Amal but this is going to be rideable on a daily basis , & to avoid dramas fighting a worn out old carb have decided on either a 26mm Keihin or more likely a 26mm Dellorto, as Ive got a pile of jets etc for it

Im putting an SU carb on mine ,,,,,

Have ya go a sketch in mind?_
