50 PAN.....inlet manifold and carby....

.....one thing that...i wont say gives me the shits....but does annoy me is how my right knee hits the carb on my 48.....so i thought id try putting the carb on the left side of this bike and pushing it forward. i couldnt do it on the right side otherwise the inlet length would be too long. i cut, heated, bent and welded a standard s and s manifold to see if it would work...seems nice in the position now. i found a guy who can mandrel bend alloy tube the right size for me so i could do a much simpler version of this....and im thinking of doing a couple ...let me know if anyone is interested.

where's the carb support come from? the bottom can't really tell in the photos.. I like it but I'd be sucking water with the carb pointing forward.

hey t..gonna run the carb support off the head steady that i still have to do....its a tricky set up cause the tank i have on it has the fuel tap in a very bad spot on the left side....maybe i relocate that....anyway....carb support and head steady together.
