Lowbrow Panhead: Dual Amal Carb Setup


Dual Amal carburetors were a factory option from Harley-Davidson on Panheads, and I was lucky to secure this neat OEM manifold and carb setup for my '59 Pan. Now that I am done screwing around and a bunch of dudes are about to email me to correct me, check out this rad custom-made dual 930 concentric Amal carb setup on my Pan! Thanks goes to Nicholas at Trumpnut Cycle Parts for the manifold, he had made some for Shovelheads and Ironhead Sportsters, among others, and I contacted him about this and he knocked it out for me.

Nicholas used a an S&S Cycles Super E manifold that I had and shortened it and used that as the basis for the Amal manifold, which he made and flow tested to get good velocity and ensure it not only looks cool but runs strong as well. The starting sequence will be a bit different without an enricher, tickle the carbs like crazy and kick it fast as hell, no lazy kicks allowed. Should be interesting to fire it up (next week??)...
