My hobbit project is slowly moving forward. I’ve got the Malossi race gears installed, a new wheel built, the engine the way I want it and in the subframe and things are looking good.
Granted I just realized I put the tire on backward. Ugh. So I’ll have to fix that later.
Today I was making some room for the bigger carb.
Hobbits are really well thought out (thank you Mr. Honda) but the stock air-box is not my friend or a PHBG’s friend either. So it’s grinder time!
I wanted to keep the back of the box to minimize tire spray but close up the sub frame as much as possible. This is what I ended up with.
Looks pretty good and lots of room to wiggle the carb out for jetting.
Now put it all together…
Next up…Top Tank!
