    The bike is together and it looks amazing, we tried to fire it up and....nothing.
    We eventually got it to turn over once or twice...then nothing....

    We decided it had to be the ignition coils, tested them one was dead...got those ordered and they arrived we got them on the bike and now....blump blump ...nothing (AAAAAAAH!!!!)

    SO NOW WHAT? Plugs are good, spark from all fours ...frustrations have kicked into overdrive.....dont know what to do now...

    Tight valves will make it hard to start. Also when you cleaned the carbs there is a tiny passage for the enrichment circuit wich is the choke. That needs to be cleaned well. I had a problem using a car ignition swith, took me days to figure out, but appearentley there is an override in the tci so that there has to be a seperate push button starter, can't use the start side of the key switch.

    Are those brake disks (with the cut-outs in the surface that contact the brake pads) stock for the 1100? What is the diameter? I'd love to get one of those for the front wheel of my 1980 XJ650 Maxim but not sure if the bolt pattern and outer diameter are the same.

    Sorry it took so long to post pics of the finished product...honestly...I forgot. Now when I think about the bike I think about riding it, instead of writing about it. But here are a couple pics.

    Pyoobs,

    NICE! I'm not really into a bob or cafe for myself but this is one of best I've seen. It's not just a rider, it's a show piece. I just love it when someone puts one of these bikes together and the bike makes the statement...I'm clean, neat, I can flat out get in the wind and I can do it over and over again!

    Gary

    Fantastic looking bike man! So what was the reason for it not firing after you got it together?
