    nice job. It reminds me of Alan Millyards Velocette'V-twin. In Kent I saw someone riding a what he named '''Harmless Norton'': Harley carter with 2 Matchless cilinders in a Norton Featherbedframe.

    Visually it would be better to have reversed the rear cylinder head and valve train to allow for a single carb and for the rear exhaust header to go straight back rather than bending around 90 degrees. As demonstrated on this custom Velocette v-twin czcams.com/video/PJS8NO2Koic/video.html

      Both connecting rods share a common crank pin which guarantees the stroke is the same for both cylinders. T.S. RACING
