Carb sync and newer video
Tonight was carb sync and check the timing and do a little fuel adjusting. It was running real rich and I dialed down the mixture screws to get the best idles and she sounds really smooth..no sputtering or anything. Got the sync as close as I could. Seemed like if I so much as thought about tweeking another screw it would throw things way off so I cut my losses as it is.
Heres a pic of the gauges and click on the second picture to direct you to the newest video.....

Just actually listened to the video..didnt think the camera would pick up the rattling brake lever so much. I guess I need to fill the hole and redrill so it is quieter!!! Part of the fine tuning process I guess.

All of these bikes have rattling brake levers. That is why I bought a bunch of 8 mm X .20 mm shim washers. 
I am gonna fill it with alumiweld and redrill it.
Took the video before i started turning in the mixture screws Ed..thats all gone. youll also notice a little rich puff of gassy smoke when i opened it up..thats gone too.

Thanks Chuck. I understand now, thanks. 
I have the brake lever rattle too. where did you stick the shims, GSX1000E?
Didn't get to try to synch them again today. Mother's Day obligations and spend most of the afternoon doing lawn stuff. I'm gonna squeeze in a garage night after work this week and put this knowledge to use. Then on to the next thing on the list.

No shims..the hole for the bolt gets oblong after a trillion squeezes..so it either fill the hole and redrill, or get a bushing and insert it into the lever, or replace it with a new lever.
Greg got a stripe kit from some guy in the UK and all they sent was the black stripe. Guy told Greg that that was correct and as we all know that it isnt correct....the white and black are one two toned stripe. Guy wouldnt make a set of white ones or do anything else and has cut off all communications with Greg.
Painter called me today as a matter of fact. I gave him the info on a place here in Norman that I found and he is gonna be checking with them on betting some white to lay along side the UK guys black. Not an ideal situation but what else would be done except to reorder a complete and correct kit??
Basically its on the back burner right now till something is sourced so the thing will look right when done.

I am not gonna get into the whole Reproduction Decals thing here.I have had my say with Greg over this. This entire thing is another case of BUYER BEWARE. You can go cheap and redo it again...or do it right the first time.
And I made the point on the paint and proper striping being of the utmost importance..especially on the Cooleys.

I haven't heard from Chuck about it in a while, but the last I heard was that the painter broke his wrist and that slowed things a bit. I hope it doesn't have to wait till next summer to sell it.
I have some shiny stuff to send Chuck when we get down to the last bits.
If you are looking for a full set of stripes, I have a spare set from Reproduction Decals (or RD Decals) never used them as I'm keeping mine with the original paint.
PM me if you want them.
