      Thanks man! I've been super busy haven't had much time to work on it. I'm still going through the carb tutorials the other members sent me. Thanks to you all for that

        So I'm trying to find exhaust. I wanted the mac 2:1. Does anyone know where I can find new or used exhaust?

          Okay so all the wiring is finished and the motor is cranking now.
          Just have to paint the tank, and get fuel flowing. I fired it on a squirt of starting fluid, and she fired right up. Oil and filter are changed. I have a better headlight with a cage ordered.

            I'm going to run these mufflers and wrap the factory pipes in titanium colored wrap till I come up with another exhaust I like better. Three mufflers are just hanging there, they will be in a straight line once clamped and the bracket is installed

              "Clamor" - a loud uproar, to utter noisily, a loud and persistent noise.

                        Not very many people, even a lot of pros don't paint the underside of a gas tank. I've never understood that. Well done.

                          Thanks man. I rattle can'd the base color. But I cleared it with 5 coats of catalyzed clear and one of my hvlp's. Base coat doesn't matter and doesn't need to be shiny so just laying the metallic out correctly is all that matters.

                            I started painting in a hotrod shop, and currently am a house painter for over 20 years. I had light rust underneath and wanted to correct and seal that. The factory didn't worry about painting the underside very well either

                              I'm going to run these gold badges. Should look nice with the gold chain, brass leather accents. Instead of the right side cover I'm going to make a custom fit leather messenger pouch
