1957 Royal Enfield Indian | Foot Throttle | 2 Within 4-Part Series

The Devil’s Advocate comes as a direct response from J’s own personal criticism. Concerned that she was going to be a “one-hit wonder” with the pull-start, J decided to create another challenge for herself: design a bike that operated with a gas pedal, or a foot throttle. J’s design proved successful; the foot throttle is actuated by an antique hay hook, which is then mounted to foot pegs that are vintage foot measuring tools, also known as a Brannock Device. She also stretched and recreated the swing arm with an adjustable dual monoshock set-up, while covering the rear wheel with a modified 1940’s Indian fender. The seat pan is made from the yoke of an antique Radio Flyer wagon. Moreover, being able to take more time with this build, J was dedicated to fine-tuning her fabrication skills.
