If I win a lottery, one like this is the first thing I will pee it away on, but with full on engine.

I like the look and the weirdness and the cleverness of getting the intake/exhaust paths sorted for a sportbike. Maybe coulda gone down an inch on front wheel size.

Turning a Knuckle (or Shovel) head Harley into a dual-carb system is not new or even really rare (though not common) but most versions put the carbs on the right side.' I am guessing whether you use two front head vs two rear heads is part of the difference.

 

I should have stayed with being a bike mechanic fifty years ago and taken my machinist & welding classes more seriously. (I got good at stick welding but MIG and TIG were not my friends.)
