picked up a 60's western flyer today and started building some motor mounts. used the tig and silver solder to put everything on because i didn't want to put too much heat in the frame with a torch. didn't want to use steel filler because it doesn't really go with the bike. i can't get enough of the bmx parts on this bike, i know it will be a love it or hate it thing for you guys. the motor will be getting my race port, pipe, and carb package. this thing is so light, it's gonna fly.

built most of a stainless expansion chamber this evening. i'm happy with the way it looks, but i think i'll put a little stinger on the end to give it that ting

i got some brakes now, had to put some tabs on the frame to hold the housing but let the cable pass. also a couple pivots on the top rear legs. the brakes work awesome, and don't look too bad either.

i had to give my buddy his dellorto 16/16 sha back and needed some pretty heavy carburetion to keep up with the airflow requirements of this fire breathing beastie, so i figured that 2 must be better than 1. i will be building another intake for the duals soon and the carbs need a little finesse but they work about 90% as good as the dellorto. i should be able to get the final tune done tomorrow. you would not believe how nice the throttle pull is with that little 90deg cable router.
