thanks guys, yeah I cant say I like what he did with it really, too much black with the engine now. it was a fun bike, i really enjoyed building it :) ...just kinda lost patience:shrug: next bike will probably be an xs650, been searching for a cheep one... I'd like one that I can ride...

^you have killer taste methinks, my next project wants to be an older 50"s chevy pickup something to drive around just for shits and giggles

my dad has some friends who are into the whole planning for "z-day" thing. they all want to drive around in some huge duce-and-a-half with machine guns looking like matt mcconaughey in "reign of fire".... they will probably all get munched while fueling it up...

nice speed holes :) my sprocket cover is a mutant as well...hell my whole bike is a mutant, love the split tank idea, I vote you make all your body work pieces then mock your frame to compliment them....run the backbone at the same bend as the silouette as the tank ect ect... BITCHIN, cant wait...

So the bike is running crappy, took it for a long ride theother day and it ran like crap and limped it home on one cylinder. Its clearly loosing the right cylinder. Plugs don't look bad the right cylinder was washed with fuel but not fouled, the left looked like it was working hard but not...

hey folks! got the bike running pretty good!, ive been through my carbs like everyday for the last week tweaking and adjusting drilled out my jets with a 1/16th drill bit, according to a chart online thats about a 150 main jet. also backed my idle mixtures out to about 4 turns out thats...

Yeah I should probably check, im gona do more once I replace that pesky clutch pushrod seal. The battery is decent but I need to check how she is charging again.

At idle is seems to not want to keep a certain rpm, I can keep it running at about 2000 rpm if I feather it but if I get under that its doddgy and will die if it gets too low. Ill have to check the bowls. Thanks for that link:bike:

Ughh, why she's ah no run good?! I've checked for air leaks around the carbs boots, fuel flow is good, idle mixtures are both about 3 turns out, carbs are super clean, and yet she dosnt idle very well :( I've checked the vaccume readings at the ports on each carb/intake rubber, they seem...
