Carburetor and Fuel System
Title: Carburetor support
I have STD pan heads with the shovel style intake. I'm trying to figure out a better way than a vertical strut going from through-bolt on the engine case up to the lower manifold bolt. This leaves all the weight of the carb hanging outboard of the support.
P.S. I have the Super E.

my support strap connects to the bottom of my air cleaner. It supports it all

Hey Kell,
Like "flash" said, make a support that goes from the top case bolt out to the backing plate on the air cleaner. A couple of 45* bends in some flat chrome stock (easy stuff to find in the muffler bracket section of many catalogs) is all it took on my bike. You'll get a much more solid anchor point with better leverage for supporting the carb and air cleaner.
