well, i got to ride her finally!

yay! Rides great =) Still working on tuning the mixtures and idle speed a bit, but its more than rideable, and makes a ton of power as is. Pics!

 

Congrats mate!

 

The bike looks great! Congrats!

 

Nice bike, now get to riding!

 

Tune that puppy right to the hairy edge and go play at the high end of the tach!

 

As I said i'm still dialing in the carbs bit by bit. next on the list is tires, and I'm pretty sure I need to adjust my clutch cable, as it grinds a bit going into second, nearly every time (except under extremely light acceleration). My insurance guy is drew up papers for me today and will be bringing them by for me to sign at work tomorrow, after which I'm heading to the dmv to register, and plater her, and get my permit! lol

I would love to be out riding her right now, but I honestly dont want to push my luck and get caught riding. I spent a couple hours on her over the last couple days, and am loving it, so I have been scratching my itch to ride as best as possibly trying to dial in the carbs, and putting a few finishing touches on the bike. Like the gas cap! lol

Thanks all, I can't wait till next week when I've got all the papers squared away and can spend every possible minute riding

 

Congrats, Switch! I knew you were going to get it going all along :mrgreen:

 

It is a good feeling to get it working right.
I pulled thet tank off today and thought about the first time I had pulled it off.
It took me forever and getting it back on took even longer.
Today it was off adjustments made and back on in a shorter period of time then that.
:lol:
I thought, how strange the amount of pride I felt over such a simple thing.
Been a long time since I felt that way.

 

Congrats on the ride. Looks better than mine

 

the bike looks very nice indeed, hard to believe that is what my POS looked like at one time.

oh well winters are long here so should be time to make it look a bit better

 

To be honest, I almost fell over when I saw the bike the first time. I had essentially agreed to buy it sight-unseen, expecting a pretty major resto project ahead of me. When we pulled up and I saw a CHERRY bike sitting in the garage, it took all of my willpower to not dance a jig and throw fistfuls of cash at the guy, lol.

 

I want your bike! It's that simple! Congrats and enjoy!

 

Got my fixed too!!!! it was corroded wiring under the seat... Damn wires were hanging... It was my green/brown field coil wires......completely corroded off. I know have 14.45 volts at 5000 rpms......."I LOVE EVERYBODY"

 

thanks for the kind words, all, and thanks a TON to all who have helped me get this beast back on the road!

 

not to mention not HAVING fist-fulls to throw.....
{=

Steve

 

that helped too .... heh. my "fistful" was about 28 bucks at the time, lol

 

You need bigger fists!

Not for money... but to protect that bike. I'd totally fight you for it
