Yeah, picture 106 looks like they are in line, while picture 113 makes it
look like the tail is longer, just a quirk in the camera angle, maybe.
Internal cooling ducts! Very good, that is part of my concept too.
Very nice work for a "first try" at metal forming. I look forward to seeing
the finished result. Good luck with it!

no, I'm right on the line required, before the end of the
tire, (but not
by much!) my work has been described as crude but effective,
and in a lot
of ways I am proud of that! (although I am trying to better
my
craftsmanship) the tail section was actually the first piece
of aluminum I
ever used an English wheel on, story there too, I had
originally cut the
metal and worked it trying to make it fit the FRONT of the
bike, after
several days of trying to make it bend into the shape I
thought it should
be , in frustration I just placed in on the rear tire so I
could sit down
and think about what I was trying to do, lo and behold there
it was, the
piece I wanted for the front was actually the tail section,
took about 15
more minutes of work to make it fit there just perfectly!
