I managed to view it yesterday,as i can get trade day tickets,it looks very good indeed,even met the owner,in my opinion it was the best bike on the stand,for some reason a v twin one off was in the middle of the stand,it looked unfinished to me but won best in show,no idea why.

More development for the Drouin.
Brand spankers S&S Super 'G' shorty carb.
Just a little bit bigger than the Mr Turbo carb i had fitted
First job was to make up a new flange
Then knock up this simple jig to keep the carb angle correct
Carb needs spacing out 20mm so that its accelerator pump doesn't foul the frame
Now to chop off the old mount and face it up on the lathe
And bore a hole the same dia as the new carb
Then open up the manifold so the fuel has a less restricted run to the blower
Now just got to bridge the gap

Nearly there.
Just need blasting to match the rest of the blower.
Should be able to get the carb fitted by weekend ,Then it's Play time ( If it ain't raining ).
