    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Started chopping up the frame this week. Going to complete remove the motor this weekend and start taking it apart for the machine shop :D . I also got my carb gaskets in the mail so those are going to get rebuilt this weekend!

Also after putting the tank and seat on the frame to get an idea of how things are going to look I've decided I'm going to go the mono shock route and lucky enough I have one laying around!

Been off and on with this project a bit lately as I've started a new job and have had trouble finding the time to get out to it.

The carbs got dipped, new O-rings, and bowl gasket came in, so I boiled the carbs after the dip to get all of the crap out of them and then started to polish the bodies.

Sanded down and painted some of the rusty parts and replaces the piece of angle iron joining the two carbs together with a piece of aluminum. Also went up a size in the jets and synched them up on the bench. Found out that the clips on the needles had come off on both carbs so I got those put back together as well

Next step is getting the head off and porting and polishing that sucker.
