It's looking good!

I HAVE SPARK!!!!!!!!

That's good news.
Next question is: at the correct time?

[Fixxxated]

Looking good indeed! I think if I like how my cafe racer project with the '79 goes well I'll be looking into making a bobber out of an '80-84; I wanted to do a bobber first off but the idea of carrying a passenger overruled. Gonna put apehangers on it?

[frankinbobber]

found some clubman style z bars but i think i like them upside down right now but i'll have to finish the seat before i make the final call. I'll post new pics this afternoon. I haven't checked the timing yet that should happen today. I'm still waiting on my peanut tank also.

I've never been very successful with carb work but i found a shop that will do full rebuild and sync. for 75.00 per carb. does that sound about right?

[cb650]

75 per carb would end up 300. Sounds way hi unless your carbs are real bad. Some one on sohc4 does it for 100 a set I believe.

[frankinbobber]

got the exhaust mocked up on the right side. the new clutch lever put on the new bars and cut down the spark plug wires

[Volker_P]

$75 per carb seems a restoration prize for bad and otherwise unavailable carbs.
Some here bought complete runners for $300.
So including parts it might be a correct price but nevertheless one could look for cheaper options.
Most important thing is cleaning out the tank anyway.

[frankinbobber]

i think i'll try it on my own it looks like pulling them off is the only real tough part. bought some leather for my seat today.
