Default Model A Motorcycle

I thought you might be interested in this effort to build a motorcycle using as many Model A components as necessary
However, as you can see, it has Model A wheels and the front forks are Model A radius arms.
It is a few year since I saw the bike and I can't remember what else was Model A
He was relying on the coolant circulating through the frame, but I've since heard that this proved inadequate.
Also the exhausts pointed directly at the foot rests so there was something to be sorted there
However, a fascinating project
