Thanks MrYeats; I made the corrections above.

I've ran out of time on my project and might be moving soon. I wanted to get some feelers out there to see what somebody might pay to take it off of my hands in the Milwaukee area. The bike isn't currently running, but it is complete. I think it's just a float level issue in the carbs, but I...

I've ran out of time on my project and might be moving soon. I wanted to get some feelers out there to see what somebody might pay to take it off of my hands in the Milwaukee area. The bike isn't currently running, but is mostly complete (missing side covers). I think it's just a float level...

Sorry guys. I havent been on here in a while. Im still frustrated... close to giving up. I cant get a spark now. I finally found a leak in my float bowl and replaced a screw so that was nice but my petcock isnt workimg correctly. (Continuous flow) I bought the rebuild kit but im still missing...

Well I managed to get the look I wanted out of it without making any major frame adjustments and I'm super happy with how it turned out!! Then I tried to start it up... Still can't beat the fuel issues. So frustrating. Back to square one... How many times can I rebuild these carbs before it...

I didn't check the date GTIDave... I definitely won't hold my breath... Thanks.

How much would you sell the front forks for by themselves?

VERY cool. Unique approach; I like it!

HA! I was thinking maybe a koala bear. I've done the bird thing!

Yeah, it did look good and it has a pretty new paint job, too! I hope I'm not disappointed with the looks of the new one, but from what I've seen on other originals, it will look just as good. I'll plan on selling the tank on here or Craigslist. I'll definitely post it here first though. I think...

I know what you mean. Frustration can sink in quickly while working with carbs. I know all too well. BUT I got the carbs out much more easily this time. I loosened the air box and then got even more play when I took the bolts out of the rear fender (allowed the air box to move just a little...

Sounds a little more complicated than I'd like to mess with... although the idea of it sounds so simple and got me a little excited to try it for a minute. I've loosened the air box and that only gives me like an inch... Maybe I missed a bolt or two that would free up some more space. I'm...
