CCE
Gotten a bunch of comments begging me not to modify the original. DON'T WORRY!
I would never modify Randy's, what I will do it pull a mold (like whizzerrick suggested) and then modify a copy. I have already pulled a mold off the original Holy peg pattern as it's wood and I dont trust any foundry to not destroy it!
Thanx for all the input, I appreciate it. I will be talking with Rick and Tim at CCE and who knows I might do runs of em both ways.

Custom Cycle Engineering
Here are my first bird deflectors cast from Randy Smiths original patterns!
they actually came out beautiful.
the one on the left is for S&S super E or G and the other is for S&S Super B or early Keihin or Bendix Carbs.
I will be doing a run of the ones for Super B very soon.
Not taking any orders til I have them in hand, and hopefully by then I'll have finished fixing up my ordering system online anyway. Its coming,,,
As far as the one for the E and G, its a tiny bit too small for the bolt pattern, It would be an easy fix for me to midify the pattern, but holy crap, modifying Randy's original pattern!?! I can't do it, well, at least I'm not ready to.
What do you people think, should I make it better so it fits perfectly,
(It's just a little thin after you drill it on the bottom 2 holes)
or should I leave it as is from his hands???
I am inclined to leave it, but I'd REALLY like peoples opinion!!!
Read that bottom part, I really need feedback on it!!!
Thank you

One o' them buzz bombs..
pretty crazy, the engine powering that thing is a big pulse jet, like:
and they fired that fucker up and DAMN i bet you could hear that thing, and feel it, MILES away.
Somebody wanted pix of Zero's
So, here you go, this is the ONLY Zero in the world running the original engine, period! There are 2 or 3 more that fly but this is the one original one. And it's here in the US! haha
