    WOW..... when you think you know...

    Thanks for the input. Unfortunately, my 1980 850 has offset stock boots with vac ports. My head does not have these ports. As a mechanical engineer, I would be more comfortable with an oring seal vs a full face seal of that design.

    Flame on!!!

    I havnt rode much at night. Well last night i went for a rip. Noticed on decel a little popping on 2&3, with flame! Looked cool as hell but needs to stop.. Just recently put in a dyna ignition and me thinks 2&3 are out of time just a bit perhaps. Thoughts?

    WOW..... when you think you know...

    Thanks all for the input. the 79 carbs are VM, the 80's are CV. That aside, when I actually order said boots, I will go oem. I cant imagine how one would vac synch without that port.

    clutch armature

    Just to be sure, the clutch arm coming off the case when no cable is attached should be parallel with the case, correct?

    Yeah, i should look at some numbers first and compare to what i'm doing, at this point its more of an assumption on my part... LOL @ "your own thing" thank you Steve, thats one of the more polite ways of saying it. And I kind of needed it since I ran into a GS snob the other day and I let it...

    header pipe diameter

    Thanks Steve as always for your help and a wealth of knowledge. I am thinking of lengthening my exhaust to something behind me. Its not the noise, its the exhaust smelling pant legs.... And I wont lie, even with installing baffles, I've lost more low end than I care to admit.
