They are a bunch of &$^% crooks. Wouldn't give then the time of day.

Yep Ben I think thats a great looking one. Going on the short list.

That last one I posted you liked is actually a full size Ultimate based somewhere in Ontario.

I am on a mission now I found some more Grin

I have also always liked Rob Holland's scheme although it is on a MXS-RH and not a bipe but might still work.

Brian, I don't want to get into that here. Let just say they sold me a piece of junk and seem to be quite ok with that.
If you want the whole story then call me. I would be more then happy to tell you about it.

The carb sticks out past the engine mount.

In this one you can see that the engine has an offset. that's common, but I didn't measure how far forward the engine had to go. That's proven to be a mistake, it's off by an inch and a half and to farther complicate things the cowl doesn't have the same offset as the firewall.

Normally I would machine out some stand offs but the 85 is a but of a shaker so a pedestal for the engine is a better choice.
