    Just about finished with the bike, just need to decide on a color for the tank. Took it out on the Distinguished gentlemans Ride in Los Angeles over the weekend and had a great time. Ran great and got tons of thumbs up, but not the most comfortable ride. Probably logged close to 300 miles. The...

    Latest update, I've done three shake down runs all about 40-60 miles each run. I've got everything just about ironed out except for a pesky idle that doesn't want to cooperate. I put on a new throttle cable (old one was too short) and the bike will idle either normally or rev to the moon. I've...

    I went with the Tim O's Studios speedometer, very simple app that just shows my speed. Super accurate and has a laage layout on the screen. All you see is the MPH you're traveling...and it's free.

    Finally got the carbs dialed in and took her out for a shake down run to Cooks Corner, everything worked pretty good except for the throttle cable. It doesn't want to return when I let off the gas which made the run thru the canyons a bit dodgy. Brought it home and rerouted the cable but it...

    I figured out why the kickstart wouldn't work, just needed to loosen the clutch up a bit. It started on the first kick last night!

    Ya know what...I've got to check that! It doesn't seem like the clutch is engaging.

    Sooooo, brought it home, put some gas in the tank, checked to make sure everything was buttoned up, turned on the ignition, have her a swift kick...and nothing! Pushed the kickstarter thru a few more times and the motor feels like it doesn't have any compression. I take the cover off and check...

    Well....it's been a while since I posted anything, been busy getting a divorce. But now I have lots of spare time and little money, so we'll get this thing done eventually. Just finished up the tank badges, just need to pick a paint color ( I kind of like the gloss black, but I'm leaning towards...
