Is that one of Alan Millyard's creations?   Regarding the carbs, there's barely enough room to wedge 4 carbs in as it is so perhaps it's fuel injected.

Awesome. One issue as a daily rider though, the carb(s) or injection kit are doubtless in the tank spacd so the fuel capacity is probably much reduced, and economy worse - I wonder what economy it gets? Still looks well engineered and very clever or very good photoshop.

The builder is called Dominic Labelle.

Must have hollowed the tank out to take the necessary, probably down to about 1 gallon. Either that or its a really good Photoshop job?

If it is photoshop he has spent a lot of time at his computer as there are a few photos.
