new (hopefully improvements) to the old chopper

[oneup]

still another 6 and a bit weeks till we hit your fine shores to pick up our trike, so for now its work on the chopper time to stop me being impatient like a kid before xmas,
fitted a new clutch and different spring arrangement, which i made a dodgy looking but very effective home tool for, as getting the right tool isnt easy here.
also fitted a CV carb as tho original was a bit sad and tired. so far so good.

currently made brackets to support carb back to spare holes in the side of the heads to attach to the air cleaner . i have an old s&s teardrop that i am modifying short term and will get something better when i hit the shops in the USA.

thanks mate. glad someone likes dodgy phone pics of my handywork. they dont look that exciting, but achieving any modification give me a huge sense of pride.
full bike pics are better to look at. this was just before pulling it apart yet again

hope to have it going this weekend and ride it a bit before the back end comes off again for a few minor mods

Oneup, good looking bike, homemade tools are the best when they work, but what I really want to know is, what is the deal with the dummy in green, that is in your video of your good looking chop??????:wave4::Shrug::gah:
