Well, either the short ones or custom long ones that lean forward.

ya, i'm playing around with some options. gotta get it running first

ah to have legs so long that my knees hit something

Got the fuel lines laid out, need to finalize them. Have to figure out return springs & throttle cable holders next.

Changed the tail light. Rear turn signals will be some high power led bolts on the license plate holder, will function as brake lights too w/ a modulator. The tail light bulb was upgraded to a brighter LED w/ a flasher too.

Got a 1/4 turn throttle tube from Murray's Carbs in as well as a longer travel cable splitter from Venhill. The shorter one wouldn't quite allow for full carb opening, but now I should be good to go.

Ordered a NOCO lithium battery (I have a modern MOFSET R/R installed too), it's about 1/3 the size of the one that was in there. Need to figure out how to secure it and what to do with all the new space for activities around it

Installed a priming button in place of the stock choke knob, which is basically a bypass for the oil pressure switch. Found the tip from a forum member, but can't remember who.

Fuel lines and throttle cables will be finalized soon! Hopefully can test fire shortly after. Probably need to drain the fuel and re-fill with fresh!! Then, finish up the rear lighting and go test ride! Hopefully there's only minimum tuning gremlins!!

Do not forget the knee guard. Do not want to see smile scars on your caps.

Throttle cables finished and working well. Had a little oopsie when i fired it up yesterday - i had forgot the oil galley plug for the oil pressure gauge (ironic huh??) so i lost about a quart of oil out that back hole in just a few seconds! I guess my oil pressure test was successful!

Bike fired quickly once the fuel system was primed and the accelerator pumps were active. Took about 2 hours last night to clean up the mess and it's still not done.

Hopefully get to test fire it again today! Need to let it warm up so i can get idle mixture, idle speed and sync done.

So close and yet so far. The wrenching is much better than the clean up. But pretty much par for the course.

Nearly ready to rip

[Fred Camper]

Wow, looking mean.

[ritalz]

Dual Webers and four into four is a great look.

[digger]

Agreed, great look. And a great sound.

Can we get a right side shot (pic)? About to mount my fuel pump and would like to see yours from the side.
