Breaking news !!! Those wishing to get a better look at the Drouin Zed before it gets thrashed,crashed or sold will be able to see it in the flesh along side other one off machines in the Custom Xtreme area of this years NEC Motorcycle show from 27th November till 6th of December.

Just seen the bike in Sf looksa ferkin' good. Excellent work. Centrespread too. Cool!

Makes a change from the usual gangsta rap shite that Sf has moved towards over the last few years....

I managed to view it yesterday,as i can get trade day tickets,it looks very good indeed,even met the owner,in my opinion it was the best bike on the stand,for some reason a v twin one off was in the middle of the stand,it looked unfinished to me but won best in show,no idea why.

More development for the Drouin.

Brand spankers S&S Super 'G' shorty carb.
Just a little bit bigger than the Mr Turbo carb i had fitted





First job was to make up a new flange




Then knock up this simple jig to keep the carb angle correct


Carb needs spacing out 20mm so that its accelerator pump doesn't foul the frame



Now to chop off the old mount and face it up on the lathe



And bore a hole the same dia as the new carb



Then open up the manifold so the fuel has a less restricted run to the blower


Now just got to bridge the gap

[zed1015]

Nearly there.
Just need blasting to match the rest of the blower.
Should be able to get the carb fitted by weekend ,Then it's Play time ( If it ain't raining ).
