Thats correct! The left upper tube needs to be adjusted to make room for the carb. Some work for the plumber...

I might get down to the Island Classic next weekend. One of the quickest bikes there is the 180+ Hp Irving Vincent. Out to about 16-1700 cc and sounds amazing and has fantatstic acceleration.

I have recieved the new liner from Westwood and now it is getting honed together with my piston. I should have recieved it last Friday, but maybe this coming week. After that it is time to assemble the engine and check whether the rebalancing of the crank has had the desired effect on the vibrations. Training events are planned and the sofa potato has begun the running exercise!
While waiting I have put som more hours on the CAD-model for my café racer project. The design concept is more or less decided to look something like this:

I can't see that beign good for handling 
I would make an "X" brace where you did the mod... or at least brace it to the subframe nod.

Last motorcycle frame I built was 3D-CAD and FEM-calculated. This mod? Not so much...

Haha! No, neither can I!
This is on the owners request. Maybe there is some excuse by the fact that "all" Norvins are made this way.
At first I told my friend: -OK, I can help you out, but you must never tell anyone it came out of my workshop!
I suppose it will carry a distinguished gentleman to the café and back in an acceptable manner.
The best solution would have been to use the Vincent motor as a part of the frame, just as it was originally designed.

From now on that solution will be known as "Dr C's solution".

Yeah, I was afraid of that... It will haunt me to my dying days!
But the thrill in having a 25000€ newly produced Vincent replica engine in my workshop was simply irresistible!
