Oh Man that trip was a good 'un ...

Just another Mon ride to Newcombs for lunch.

Nice weather though the roads are still a bit dirty from last weeks rain.

I will say she does sound evil now coming through this bit of the road......

Painted the tank and seat unit black. Ordered some fuel resistant lacquer, thinking I will do a proper job, add stickers and lacquer over the top.

What a great shot Hawk, hope you had a good ride

I'm really bored..

Nice pic :-)

lacquer stickers/decals then more lacquer. Make sure that the stickers are lacquer resistant though, and give there a very light dust coat to begin with.

Are you plastered Nice job on the pic.

Had some 8mm bosses welded onto swinger for paddock stand bobbins , no better time than now while its off . Swinger and seat subframe off to be shot blasted this weekend before going to be painted along with fork lowers

Gave the bike a quick tune up. Leaned off the needles 1 clip, synced carbs and adjusted mixture. Bikes running so much better and my choke is more usable again. I swear there is more intake noise with the Dr Honda's compared to two standard long stacks.

Current set up as follows:
BMC Street filter, Factory pro Jet kit and Dr Honda stacks
Front carb
178 main
48 pilot
needle clip 5th from the pointy end
1 slide hole blocked
A/F 2.1/4 ish (done by ear)

Rear carb
180 main
48 pilot
needle clip 5th from the pointy end
10though shim added
1 slide hole blocked
A/F 2.0 ish (done by ear)

It will happily idle at 200rpm if I turn the idle speed down No coughing or spluttering and revs cleanly. Time for a Dyno run next to verify things.

Maybe we can sort a dyno's out for this Saturday, is your exhaust 100% as good as it's going to get?

Yep the stacks to direct the sound better :-) .

Today I removed the front end to find out why if felt crap .
Rebuilt it and test road it feels better :-)
Also raised the bars a little and chopped an inch of either side .
New position feels better
