I did not know you had two arms on one site -- good on you

Comes in handy!

But for my friends with only one arm on each side who'll want to take it for a spin I figured something along these lines minus the skull of course.

with that in mind for shifting - clutching = a back up for the starter is also in play

I know we went thru this already, but seriously have you sat on the bike yet. Looks to me like your leg and that impressive carb or going to want to inhabit the same space.

Before I let you burst my bubble Im going to just enjoy looking at it for the moment and Ive avoided sitting on it for that very reason. Im a pretty impractical guy though, just ask my wife! I do have the other angled manifold (and theres more available that angle it more again) and the forward controls have to be moved lower and more forward for my comfort whether I ran that weber or a single weenie carb. Seat placement will be further back too.

OK I will bite at this - if he wears regular baggy jeans then the pants leg excess R/S will get sucked in the rear stack while riding it - and don't ask he how I know that

if he is a hipster with the tight fitting girls jeans then he is good to go

my guess he not a hipster and in his defense he has bought a front swept manifold for that carb and that put it at knee height out front
