Somehow, magically, the thing runs much better now. Idles around 1500 RPM once slightly warm. Still not perfect, but I think it is good enough for now. I'm never going to touch the carbs again, I hate taking them off more than anything. I know my boots are in bad shape, and I'll need to replace them...

Well, I got it all back together, but forgot the accelerator pump seal on the number 2 float bowl. Luckily, I was able to get it on by only removing the float bowl and not taking the entire set of carbs out. Now that I have no fuel leaks, I was able to start the bike. It runs poorly I'd say. Idle is...

I'm going to order that set of 4 tonight. I'll report back on how well it goes in for me.

Thank you! That's exactly what I need. Still gotta order the diaphragms separate though.

I'm working on rebuilding my carbs, and it looks like I'm going to need to replace the float bowl gaskets and the air cutoff diaphragms. Has anyone found a good, cheap solution for these parts? I found the following options so far: ~$13 for some O-rings that you can bend the the right shape http://w...

Thanks for the information. My bike is currently all stock. I think I'm just going to leave it the way it is now. I want to avoid putting more money into it for right now as I am not sure if I want to keep it for many more years or try to move to a sport bike. The driving I like to do is typically a...

Hi guys, Been a while since I've been browsing here. But I've been working on my bike this past week and decided I wanted to change out the sprockets. I've read up on this a bit, but I just wanted some quick opinions before I order some parts. I'm looking to replace either just the front sprocket wi...

I might be interested in the spark plug cables. Probably a better option to just buy some brand new ones for cheap though...

Currently tearing apart my bike and will probably find little things I am looking for. I'll make a new post when that happens.

I didn't do any polishing on it. It was just a rattle can finish. The tank was sanded down to bare metal, primed, then painted. The side covers were just roughed up with some scotch-brite then painted. Looks worse in person =P

Before and after:

Love the color. Hope you can pick up some side covers to natch some day.

Finally got around to painting the side covers. Also purchased a pair of chrome airbox covers from Witttom. What do you think? I can't decide if I love it or not yet with all the red.

I may be interested in the seat. Can you post a picture of it? Also where you would have to ship it from... I'm in Minnesota by the Twin Cities.

Do you have a price on a set of those? Or do you want me to email you to get the details?

Are the chrome airbox covers still available?
