I certainly enjoy the work on this bike, and looking at it. Similar to what Boucher and Huit have done. But, does the routing of the oil drain lines make any sense? How do you make a liquid drain uphill --- from the lower H rocker cover --- and then elsewhere?

The other photos are on the Superpantah site. MikeV

Makes no sense to me Mike.

That foot peg location is not looking very sensible.

Yes, I am not sure the builder knew the intent of the valve covers with spigots on them --- like on the special TT1/F1 engines --- to drain the oil away! He has it going in circles, if anywhere.

Look carefully past the V carb and you can see the line off the back valve cover. Not sure where either line goes. MikeV

the vertical one goes into the top of the cases next to the breather.

didn't the horizontal one go into that oil fitting at the rh side rear of the cases?

Thanks Brad. Now I can see the hose clamp below the V cylinder carb at the back. I'm going to look further for the route from the H cylinder. MikeV

Pictures of this bike on Duccutters are bigger.
Strange routing indeed : the lower H valvecover has a line going up, joining at a T the line that exits from the side of the H cylinder and runs to the back where it goes into a T with one end exiting the side of the V cylinder and going into the LHcover.
Nothing going to the RH side.
About the pegs : maybe this bike was designed for a RaymondRoche type of guy :-)
Standing on the pegs and stretched out to the bars
