It could be classed as air cooled I suppose or maybe oil cooled or maybe air/oil but it is definitely not a V Twin unless you can call 4 cylinders inline a V Twin

Threaded some stainless M20 x 1.5 each end and welded on a couple of washers to make extensions slides for the wee brake, pic shows new with one of the originals.

Once fitted I cut some 10mm steel to make up a table that sits over the brake.

That allows me to slide the tooling to any of the vee's

Tested it out and works great.

Started this some years back and discovered a) it isn't quite finished and b) I need it for next week (yesterday would have been better), can you tell what it is yet?



Couple of clues:



I helicoiled it because the bolts will be constantly adjusted:



Test fit up:



I have bought some long Stainless steel screws as I will be boring the ends out and adding some brass buttons on the ends. I went to see my favourite grinding company yesterday but they don't have a fixture to hold the Bolt as you cannot remove the handle, so I will be doing it myself using my own lash up.

Apparently the term cathead is a reference to all the protruding screwheads and suchlike, if it catches you you look like you have been mauled by a cat? If anyone has any other references I would like to hear them.

The guy that owns the bike owns a car wash that is in an underground carpark
