    Is that with the 33mm Mikuni smoothbores on the bike? The throttle response sounded pretty good, my 33's have a tendency to hang the revs.

    Well a little update....Carbs were leaking big time when we put them back in....Rob used his new can of Berryman's dip and it sorted it out.
    Also the cam chain timing was out one pin....Rob fixed that too...





    And Mark helped out yesterday with tuning the carbs....Sounds great!!! Now over the weekend I will get the other pieces back together..

    Thanks so much to Mark and Rob....there is no way I could have done this on my own....I am in awe of their talent and willingness to help me.

    Looking great. I dig the nod to the bikes history in the dealer tag that you left on the chainguard.

    From the advice I got from a motorcycle guy that has used it...he is three years in with a old Honda tank and no issues. And he said his tanks was very very rusty. That said..sandy...you make a good point too... maybe I will look at getting it coated.?.?

    I was going to ask that question too. With my experience with pinholed, leaky tanks I'd really consider sealing it now before you get those pinholes and ruin that nice original paint. Maybe you can get an endo camera and look in the lower corners, that's where the problem will be.

    Awesome work Trevor and team, I see you have a bike lift in your garage, is that a new purchase?

    What brand and how does it perform?
