I made that one by shortening a standard bicycle pump and modifying the ends to fit the frame mount points. From a distance is looks OK - still need a real one - do you happen to have one ? :wink: As well I still am looking for the correct turn signals. I found one recently and so have two of them, and now just need two more. Just takes time. Over time I'd like another set of spare carb bodies also.

True - although I am hoping that the kits from Ivan will improve that story a bit. Having said that, I don't know any smoker that gets good fuel economy if you have a heavy wrist. And I console myself by assuming that pistons benefit from being fuel cooled !
