Have been working on the carb, a brand new Keihin 26mm, to make it appear rather more 'retro steampunk' First I added a brass bellmouth made from a cut down brass vase & secured it with some holed brass strap made into a sort of hoseclamp Then I took an old brass fuel cap & drilled/tapped it to take a modded airline fitting then glued it to the original carb top Its OD was a little big so then I made a copper flared flange & riveted it on Lastly I replaced the idle screw ...
Well, been very busy cutting & welding today,have extended the frame backbone 4" & added another longer under tank tube. We recently visited Timaru & I was quite taken with their park bench designs ,as youll see that was the inspiration for the front frame tube..... Have also decided to make a set of springer forks for now, maybe Ill do a funky eliptical sprung front end later on
