That looks damn close to one of my Goldwing's carbs... #3 to be exact.
FYI, you can clean the vacuum piston / slide, the inside of the cap, and the carb bore with wadded aluminum foil and not worry about harming it.

Re: Ascot Tracker
Nothing has really been done lately but the oils changed, all i need to start it now is a battery (after christmas).
I have some ideas for the tail so i messed around in paint to see if it would look good. I think it looks real good! nice and clean. I plan on putting an LED tail light right under the tail. Not sure where to put the license plate just yet. (for reference look on the first page, its the same picture).

Re: Ascot Tracker
Worked on the tail a little bit. I hated how that huge brake light stuck out so far. I did some plastic magic and recessed it in a bit. I think I will cut a lot more plastic under the tail still but this is about the look i was going for.
you can see in this profile picture; i will cut the black plastic a little more so the lines work together.
Next up is the front fender. I am thinking a "street fighter" style. Sort of like the late 90s ducatis.

Re: Ascot STREET Tracker
Got a little more work done last night. Took the exhaust off, some of the bolts were finger tight! I am going to paint the collars red and wrap the header. Prob get the "F1" off the muffler and polish it a little bit.
Still have some work to do on the tail and I am also chopping up the stock fender, gave up on the ducati fender, its too fat.
