YOU CUT HER BUTT! (p.q)

Now she has no butt... D:

I go cry. No butt to pinch. No butt to slap. No butt. Butt vacancy.

Very clean so far. Are you going to reconnect the back end in any way?

What condition is the motor and carbs in? You really cleaned her up.

So got things back together been having issues with the idle and getting the right mixture with the carbs. Any suggestions would be welcomed.

There is tons of threads on getting the twins to run right. I would start with bikecliff's website.

You're going to have to play with the jets being that you are running pods.

What did you do to the motor and carbs? Did you do the valves? The carbs? What do the spark plugs say?

This website is life:

Place to get o-ring kits (comes with the important stuff, have to buy bowl drain plug o-rings and bowl gaskets somewhere like outlaw parts)
