REDHUNTER is named for the Red Hunter motorcycles constructed in Birmingham by the Ariel company from 1932 - 1959. I am an owner and enthusiast for these machines - I am not an authority or source of parts. Please see the links page for such info.
My 1956 Ariel Red Hunter is far from standard with Boyer Bransden Electronic ignition, alternator, Enfield seat and lots of red paint. It evolved this way from due to being found in a barn and years of low budget bodgery. It works, and has won many awards - all of the Farthest Travelled and GROT variety and none of those recently. At least it finally has a shiny gast tank - I seem to have finally figured out how to paint them. It's all in the preparation. Yes, Dad, you told me so! In the background is my practice piece - Duncan's Tiger Wagon - perhaps the world's only black and orange striped Radio Flyer.
On the left is a small example showing how I shortened the
flashers on my New Triumph Bonneville to allow them to snug in behind my
ancient Nonfango hard bags. They are also less droopy - NTB flashers are
always a bit droopy and wibbly.
Burman GB Gearbox Filler Caps and Ariel Single Rocker Caps are something I used to make. I started making a large batch of both ages ago and this got put to one side when the smoke escaped from the NH's electrics. One day I may have time to finish them
My ShopTask 3-in-1 was getting a good workout machining up new Burman GB Gearbox Filler Caps and Ariel Single Rocker Caps, but has been mostly dormant recently. It is handy to have around, like when I figured out the gas tank rubbers are supposed to have a spacer down the middle - took me 25 years to figure that out, and 5 minutes to turn up a set.
The VB sidecar destined kitsa is still under assembly. I toyed briefly with building it as an electric hybrid, but that led me in the direction of thinking about a VW Bug electric conversion.
