That's one of the more novel places to put the brake. I wouldn't want to have to do any emergency maneuvers on that thing.

The copper is an interesting look. Can't make my mind up whether I like it.

I don't get the copper tubing coils, looks like my first try at making a still. It is a strange mix of different bike types, gotta admit it is different :)

it gives engine braking a new meaning.

I don't know about the whole thing over all. It strikes me as one of those bikes with the crazy 400 rear ends. Nice to look at but a real bizsnatch to ride.

I think the coiled copper tubing is the gas line. Looks like it comes from under, what I'd assume is the tank, makes a few large loops, comes back up, connects to the petcock. Comes out and makes several smaller loops along side of the engine and ends up at the carburetor.

Does give new meaning to "engine braking" doesn't it? :) I didn't realize what that was attached to the pully. Wasn't looking for a rotor back there.
