A bit of blue smoke...

Ed, I re-jetted it with a Dynojet kit. It had Kerkers on it from 1982-2018, and had been re-jetted fir them. the V&H's flowed sooo much better it needed mo' gas!

Same as any other part.
Lots of bikes with replacement frames, but the shops were supposed to stamp them with the old numbers and destroy the original frame. Sometimes that didn't happen and caused a bit of awkwardness if somebody repaired a frame and then tried to register a frame change on their log book.

This was also back in the day where the GS1100 was KING. Lot's of people wanted to build race/drag bikes. Why this particular customer wanted just the frame is unknown to me. Maybe he had a donor engine. In any case, his loss turned out to be my gain. I have (over the two times owning this bike, his name is Burt the Bike, or just Burt), owned him over twenty years. He has never stranded me once (touch wood). :-)

I re-jetted it with a Dynojet kit using their recommendations. I do feel it could run a bit richer though.

Hey Keith,

Sorry I didn't reply to your first post!

What is this "log book" you speak of?
In my 124 Spider forum, I've seen UK members mention log books a few times. What is it?

Originally it was a folded thin card booklet with the vehicle engine and frame numbers on it. There were boxes for owners' details as the vehicle changed hands down the years. The computerisation of the system meant the old log-books were done away with and a simple issuing of a new document with the details supplanted it. However, the term 'logbook' has persisted long after that - for about forty years at least.
Here's a typical example of a UK logbook, the Irish ones were similar until about 30 years ago.

Interesting....
Nothing like that here, at least in the few states I've lived in. Only one of them even had vehicle inspections. Most don't.
