Thanks guys. Chris that pretty much answered the question I was trying to get at. Bike hasn't ran for 5 years and I was out for few hrs today. Thank you!

I guess my question would be do I screw in the air jet all the way or unscrew it x turns? My carbs have been completely torn down and cleaned and am confused.

Thanks Dave, I think I got it now. Between the air, idle and pilot I was completely mixed up. Manual lists Air screw as 1-1/2 +-1/2 And they are talking about adjusting idle Does this sound right? If I knew what I know after 2 years into the bike I would have done a lot of things...

Running up my carbs and am a little confused. When you say point jet do you mean pilot air (inside carb near pod air filters) or pilot fuel(on top near carb boots) do I unscrew both x turns or is Air all the way in?

Almost done. Waiting to paint till the rest of the work is done. Work completed: Fork seals and oil change Fork gators Front breaks Rear breaks Pipe wraps Led turn signal conversion Petcock rebuild Inline fuel filter. Oil change Painted frame & carbs

I would be interested in the right foot peg/mount.

First thanks Will, secondly do you have a Paypal, your videos have been really helpful. I would love to send you money for a pint.

@jim Thanks! I am thinking a perl white/silver. The rest of the bike black. I am planing to finish it off in black white wall tires and brown and brass components as things need to be replaced. Topping it off with white wall tires. I am not sure on the tire size. I have had to...

@jim I had always planned to change the seat. Just stuck on the old one to test my carb adjustments. Would love to hear your opinion on the new seat. I'll get a better shot of the bike soon.

Seat came into today. Very happy with the look. Ended up going more brat style than cafe. Lots of work to-do. Bike is still filthy. I had tried to get a customer seat done this summer but the guy was flaky so the bikes in worse shape than when I bought it. It appears to have been left outside...

Pulled all the electrical out. And rewired it to fit aa card board mock up under the seat. I don't have a ton of time instead of doing a full re-wire I thought I would start out slow and only make changes if I had to. No battery yet. I'm planning on going with an Anti gravity 4 cell and sticking...

Lots of time off my bike project. Buying a home getting engaged and starting a new job took up all of my summer. Never even got to ride the bike this year. (I'm in Minnesota so not much winter ridding) I started back on building out the bike. I'll be posting pictures and hope to add to the...

CHANGES SO FAR: Cleaned the carbs.......It kick starts no problem(sort of) New air intake filters. Rearranged components to fit under the seat.

More photo's of the knee dents. I started body filler work to smooth out the dents.

A couple more shots of the knee dents.

Bike now starts in a few kicks, I did an hr soak in pine-sol still needs more carb work. in the down time started working on knee dents on the tank.

Week two Started striping down the bike. I didn't take many photos this was a picture my friend took but shows some progression on the build. I had change the spark plugs, new battery.

Here is the bike when I piked it up. Very much a stock bike, didn't start.:wtf:

Hey everyone first let me say thanks I have spent a lot of time reading though this forum. I can't over state how much help everyone has provided for me on this build.
