      Cliff, Steve and everyone. What a difference! I did a 140 mile loop today. Like Cliff said in his valve tutorial, I found that the bike runs smoother. The mirrors are rock steady at 60-65 mph (meaning no buzz in the handlebars) and the little annoying hesitation that I had around 2300-2500 when rolling on easy throttle though the towns has magically disappeared. I am truly impressed with the outcome. This is cool stuff More seat time tomorrow!

        Did you sync the carbs, too?

        Makes it that much smoother.

          I'll sync the carbs maybe next weekend. I was dying to get out and ride this week. My brother has the Morgan Carbtune so we just have to pop the tank back off.
