I wonder what effect that overly long intake tract will have on the fueling and throttle response?

[lostboy]

Did the top half of it shrink in the wash?

[Count Steer]

It's 'interesting'.

Not seen that done with the carbs before. The engineering looks pretty sound. That exhaust and the routing to it look a bit meh tho'.

Quite like it.

[Mr. Dazzle]

You know how I hate those "loads of bits" exhausts made by people who don't have pipe benders?

I never thought I'd see someone too keen to use their pipe bender!

[Skub]

I kinda like it. It's the R18 vibe,I think. R18 Skinny.

[Le_Fromage_Grande]

It's like someone used the bottom half of an R80 with the top half of an AP50

A bad effect.

This may be your worst yet, Weeksy.

Not sure if the builder has achieved it or not, but I reckon they were trying to get equal length primaries.

And using a single twin choke DCOE Weber and a pair of drain pipe inlets instead of a pair of Bing carbs and conventional inlets is brave if it works and pure vanity if it doesn't. I can't believe that inlet tracts of that length will be anything other than a power and rideability thief.

At least it doesn't have bar end mirrors. Or a brown seat.

[Asian Boss]

I don't like it.

I love it! That is sweet as!
