i could polish things , any things up and sit em as a work of art, often thought a polished v twin lump would look great as a feature in any room.

got the carb back together and a pancake job off the tinternet, fitted, choke went well on a natty little bracket bolted thru air filter, chromers just rang me to say brackets  for throttle are ready so by end of day will be wired, carb done, throttle and every thing. push the button and should go.
 would like to film it, engine hasn't run properly for 20 year or so.

took the trike off the build trailer / bench today for the first time since i started the build. sat it on the floor and got a proper shock, it looks tiny and seems to be sat really low. didnt have time to study it as having a big tidy up and repainting the floor ready to do the 4 letter word "work"
