[QUOTE="Oldhaven, post: 106607, member: 2879"] I have a couple of pictures of your Black Flash in my project folder for inspiration and ideas. I really like what you did. The clutch cover that came with the engine had the logo machined off, so it was nothing special, and it ended up being the perfect removable part to make with a DDV logo. Here is some more detail on the oil return to add to Daviddd's explanation. I was just looking at the return lines today, thinking I need to get some 5/16 oil line, and I still have to drill and tap the filter mount like the picture. I waited for this until the engine was mounted so I can pick the nicest way to run the oil line for convenience and aesthetics. I like the way I could throw a cat through the bike without upsetting it too much and hope to keep things tucked away out of sight and retain as much open space as possible. The TP head uses barbed fittings rather than the standard and complex banjos and steel lines so I will be doing the lines like yours. Someone else over there has what looks like hydraulic fittings with braided lines on a TP head Comet, though that is probably overkill. I did find a nice small chrome non return oil filter cartridge that looks nicer than the typical Fram filter. [ATTACH]26813[/ATTACH][ATTACH]26814[/ATTACH][ATTACH]26815[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
