    Hey guys, just finished rewiring the bike and got it to run. Still a good bit of work to do... still haven't figured out what I am going to use for the rear fender yet either.

    let me know what you think

    I have basically no mechanical knowledge at all, so I was really surprised it worked. My brother did the welding.

    I used EMCO pod filters and cut pieces off the airbox to stagger the two inside further back so they fit. I also used 125 jets.. seems to run well.

    I say no rear fender, clean up the bike, get a diff seat, put shotty shells in the seat bars or bottle caps, get a license plate, taillight comba, and ride the wheels off

    i like the idea to use shotty shells for the seat bars... i will have to try that.
    I got the jets from twigg cycles in Hagerstown, md. I think
    it was 25 for all four if I am remembering correctly.
