Molotov Reloaded WIP

below is a fuzzy, sub-megapixel shot of a possible configuration of the Morini Molotov. yes, that's a different frame, but there's still plenty of patina on this one

nothing is final and progress is slow. apologies for the low quality photo.

That looks like it could be hazardous to your dangly bits!!!!

I'd be scared of that exhaust pipe where it is, lol.

yeah, that pipe placement will have to change. i'd hate to ruin a perfectly good epididymis on this crazy bike project.

OMG!! LOL!!!
Do you live in the Arctic Circle by any chance???? Ride in nomex fire suit?????? Cold natured??? What's up?

that's it, Captain Rich! i'll get me some nomex shorts and i'll be ready to roll. problem solved!

Uncle, If you put a 1/2 inch extension into a vise, you can put the exhaust port side into the 1/2 extension and bend your pipe down a little. It won't crack.
Or you could lower your rear mount and raise your front one a tad.
Overall I love what I see and can't wait to see it run!
For some strange reason or another...It kinda reminds me of a Ford Pinto with a 302!

Easy, i had to hang the engine high so the pedals would clear. this is just a mock-up, but it's good to know that i can just bend that pipe a little. does the angle of the engine matter much?

the original Molotov frame really is a flimsy piece of crap, but i found this thing with the same size tubing so it will work with the custom mounts Dean made. maybe i'll have something going soon.

As long as the carb is somewhat leveled so the float will allow fuel into the resevoir.

I'm so proud of you for changing frames I could just bust! Walter F.
