JAPRIEL

JAP in an Ariel frame with Ariel gearbox and strange forks ... The rear brake pedal is where the gear lever should be (except the seat and footrests and brake lever seem shifted forward) and and the gear lever ... will require extreme right leg movements. Conclusion: designed for a very short person with one leg.

Amongst other v-twins, this video shows the NORTON-JAP V-TWIN mentioned on  V-TWIN NEWS PAGE 18 (second bike in the video), but here it has been improved with a smaller petrol tank, removed air filters, different front carb arrangement, and removed headlight, removed chainguard, removed registration plate, tatty pillion seat replaced by proper racing pad....plus racing numbers added. Looks a lot more purposeful!

ANOTHER MYSTERY SOLVED:

Screen Shot 2019-09-08 at 12.27.25

The mystery apparent "early British crankcases" with Ironhead Harley Sportster top end is actually a fake engine made by Wannabe-Choppers. The bike is powered by an electric motor, with the motor concealed in the rear hub and battery etc in the "oil tank". Everything was made in hand-cast aluminium except the frame tubes. The bike only weighs 176 lbs!

Before the nasty exhaust-wrap was added (see V-TWIN NEWS PAGE 6) due to fried leg, the newly made pipe (by Alldens Exhausts) looked like this..... solution was to add a heat shield mounted to the exhaust wrap

It's another Gilbert Sill /Cretingham Crank creation! An MTJAP 750 similar to the one next to it, but unfinished - as seen at the Copdock Show. Note the BSA gearbox inspection covers doubles as a footrest mount.
