Our brake pedal mount casting needs to be built back up. In its previous life as a Wall of Death bike it saw many mods.
We are trying to make Morticia safe for the road again. That sounds funny-" We are making Mortis (death) safe for the road". No one wants to hit the brake pedal and have the it tear itself from the casting as your butt puckers!
We are using a nickle rod for the cast piece. Jeremy did a fine job patiently building up layer after layer on the cast to strengthen the pedal point up! Here is a link to his work: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Jeremy-Thomas-Sculpture/15765574989

I think you will find that the fine mesh on your carb there in the picture is restricting surprisingly much. There's a lot of air passing and round wire is having a awful big air resistance. If I would use a mesh I'd use a coarser mesh behind the orig. deflector that has a greater area in total than the carb throat. The only way to filter the intake without a lot of loss is in fact to use a modern large air filter.
ReplyDeleteThanks Charlie,
ReplyDeleteThe picture makes it look finer than it really is and more than likely we will not be running that particular set up on the Cannonball. We are going to be using a scoop type setup. I'll post a pic later.
