May 17, 2009 Woo hoo! Almost done (for the moment).

The project is almost complete. Runs... ok, but still need to get the carbs tuned right, fix charging issues, and a few odds and ends. Rode it to church and back today (20 min each way) and it did ok. It started idling too high, somehow the fast idle screw seems to move as I ride.

Anyways the latest mods: New 3-1 header (wrapped), lifted the tank about 3 inches in the front, new petcocks, tail light from a 32 ford "Model A" and of course engine paint.




(FYI, The guy in the top right of the picture challenged me to a race. I declined as I didn't want to be embarrassed if he smoked me.)
