Manifolds

[ByzMax]

Terry T popped up to see me today witha little project that needed welding.

He designed and made the parts to stick a Weber carb on his goldwing trike.

All Alunmium box tube and plate so I had a go at tigging em up!

He made a really great and accurate wooden jig to allow me to tack em together and then weld weld weld weld weld.

Bit awkward in places and I could have really done with a larger tungsten (used a 2.4 but a 3.2 would have been better)

Anyhow Terry was happy with the result.

So we did a a couple more!

Yes i am well pleased.Thanks again Iain
the original idear was Toads. a member he made one but for the 1200 and the 1000 is slightly differrent which meant altering the frame.so i altered it. made the jig and came up with this.
Thanks again to Toad for the 1st pattern manifold.and Iain for welding my manifolds

update on single carb conversion.
i have decided to shelve the idear for the time being as i need to sort the jetting out.
so i re checked the originale carbs out. cleaned the sliders made a template and checked the float levels.
now i had done these just before i took them of set up with a steel rule.with this template they were about 2mm out  . so reset them and put the carbs back together. will take the weber of over the weekend and refit the goldwing stock carbs.
i just want to ride it and not keep sorting things out.plus the garage is getting a bit full with another project for the winter
