Its been soo looong I thought this might be the best spot to check back in. I am the silly old dude who was working on the Supercharged Injected 76 project a few years back. :IDTS: The project got sidelined by life stuff, nothing really bad, just stuff. I still have two 76 GL1000s, the LTD is in pieces, and the other one is still a rider, in so-so shape. My plans, just before I gave up on them was to put the LTD back into its fully original form, and use the second 76 as the one that would be modified with a whole bunch of the fancy stuff that I still have. With the exception of the original LTD carbs, which I am still trying to track down, I have all the other original LTD stuff in very good shape. I was careful to store everthing well. I will not go into the details here, I will use the correct NGW Sub-Forum to do that. I am wanting to divest myself of both Bikes and all the Supercharger/Injector bits and pieces I have collected. The parts list is long and I will post it in the next few days, along with pics of what things look like now. The NGW price will be very-very good as I would love to see the LTD back as an LTD (hopefully I can still find the carb set) and I would also love to see one of you run with the Rotrex C15-60 and Jenvey TBIs project.

Cheers!
