nice work! you must have ALOT of spare time ?

Looks like you have a few nice projects going, looks good. How'd you work out the carb?

[gdavis2265]

thanks,

The carb is a 40CV off of a Harley Big-Twin. Made a mainfold out of sheetmetal to attach to the twin intake ports on the head. It had to mount outside the frame because of limited space.

Hmmm. Just a thought....Looks like the carb might get damaged when you take a spill. Might be a good idea to fabricate some protection for it.

[gdavis2265]

Yea, I was afraid of that also- might have to put a roll cage on it!

That is such a cool looking project. Id love to hear and see more about it when you are done. Are you going to dress it up?

[gdavis2265]

It sounds really mean. That CRF pipe is loud. I just rode it around the block. Starts in 1-2 kicks!

My only real problem is under extreme front fork compression the tire will hit the headers. Looks like I'm going to have to flip the pipe 180° to the other side of the bike. (lots of pipe work. Damn! oh well) I was going to do this originally, but I thought I could make it work stock. All in all, it seems to be a nice running/riding bike. Sure has a bunch of power. It holds about 3.5 quarts, I was hoping the oil system would hold more.

I'll try and snap a few pics tomorow.

Thanks for looking,

Glenn

I'm envious of your fab skills and knowledge.

[cbaranski]

I cant wait to see this one done!!!!!!!

[kxfreak]

here's an idea, you might be able to order and offset clamp or fab one up your self if you have acces to a milling machine or cnc, and that way that passes the pipe work, and keeps the front tire from rubbing, just an idea?
