FINALLY got some time to remove the carbs, thoroughly clean them rejet them and replaces all the parts. With some adjusting, the bike is running much better. I also discovered I had the exhaust pipes loose and not sealing on the head. I also replaced the decals that were messed up, and...

That's a lot of work so far, on a motor that may or may not be good, for a bike without a bike! Looks like fun!

Here is a video compilation of the build with a short running video at the end. It still needs the carbs set and I think timing. Lots of decel popping. Also added the heat shields today before a short 4 mile test ride. I would burn my leg if I didn't. Needs some chrome acorn nuts.

Got in a pair of Uni Pod filters. Damn cheap crap I had wouldn't flow enough air to let the bike idle.

Yup, sure did. I ended up removing the canceler and the safety relays.

Oops, time gets away from me sometimes. Opened all the wiring up and started sorting wires and connections according to the wire diagram. Some of the wires were different colors, so I had to trace all of them to make sure they were correct. I also wrote down every wire and color and what it...

That is what I did.

Looks like bubbled powder coating to me.
