Blood, Sweat, and Beers

Really nice transition, I can't wait to see the next phases. I've just started the same process myself with a '77 and have a similar plan. I really like the seat that you've got on there, did you buy it or is it custom made?

Hey! Bike of the Month. Nice work.

Thanks all on BOTM! That was a suprise, since I was logging on quick to review how another member had done up their throttle, and was greeted to my own bike on the welcome page.

Bought, I forget the online shop now since it was years ago, but they had a bunch of options made in Vietnam. It's a bit hard, and I had to modify the brackets because build quality could have been better, so holes didn't line up. But leather itself has held up well.

I secured my Weber carbs. I discuss it some in another thread I'll edit a link into here with, but they are Italian made off a Alfa Romeo 33, early 90's. They are IDF 40's, but really weird. Features of a IDF 36 and IDF44 at the same time. They were in decent condition, but I stripped and cleaned them anyway.

My parts management might give some anxiety

Took a few trips to hardware store and ServoCity online store, but I have the carbs themselves substantially together. Need to paint manifold still, make the cross brace, and hardware for throttle mounting. Going with a twin-pull throttle from Domino Racing. Waiting for it to be above freezing to do much more, because most that is left requires the actual bike.

I forget who, but I need to reference their build to see what they did about a throttle cable support bracket, but I really liked their method. Didn't remember how they got their throttle set adjuster contacted, but I managed to throw some pieces together:

Several members documented their weber build. Look for White Trash by Greg F and 77 Wing Forever Bike by wannabridin.
