G'day Mark.
Looking excellent mate.
Just 1 question. The carb is a left hand, wouldn't it be better with a right hand?
I have a left on my plunger and it's a pain tickling it when on the side stand.
Cheers

Never really thought about it. It’s the same spec Monobloc I fitted to my Road Rocket which hasn’t been an issue. I tend not to start bikes on the sidestand anyway.

I don’t think they produce right hand monoblocs anymore

Hi Mark, you probably already know this but for other members, the Super Flash was originally fitted with an Amal 10TT9 carb with a float bowl on the right. It was because of the type of carb fitted that they had to introduce a kink in the down tube for it to fit.
