    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I plan on clamping them to the boots. Do they need more than that? I haven't had any problems with any of my other carbs. Do just the VM33's need this?

I haven't even started it yet...I just put it together for the show and ran out of time. I still need to install the petcock, fuel sending unit, fuel line and the stator. The cam caps will be replaced with some finned black ones that I have. I still need to install the crash guards, too. Oh, and put some oil in it and break it in! :D

Oh man, nice bike. Please reconsider the case guards and the finned caps.

You don't like case guards? I had them powder coated along with the frame for a perfect match. The cam covers look like this one...black with chrome tipped fins:

I really like the look of it as-is. If it were mine, I'd leave off the cam covers and the case guards, but I'm sure it'll look sexy with as well.
 
Finned cam end caps - yes, case guards - no. Just my opinion and what do I know. Looking sharp though.

You're gonna have to start a poll!
 
Nice. Wow.

I'm not crazy about the S fairing, but that is one good looking bike. :)

Just my opinion Bruce. I like the looks of the plain ol' chrome caps. The fins serve no purpose. Case guards are extra weight.

Reguardless it'll look great. Nice work!
 
Again, a work of art, that thing just oozes sex appeal, well done Bruce, as always. your work is top class.

Personally I would go for the plain chrome cam caps, but that is just my opinion, stunning all the same.
 
Well, after working out some electrical gremlins, I got her started today!

Here's her first breaths: Click on pics for video



She fired right up! Sounds pretty nasty with no baffle in the Yoshi pipe. :twistedevil: The oil filter cover gasket was pinched and made her leak. :mad: Got that fixed and the oil cleaned up and had another go at it:




I still need to tune and synch the carbs. AND...there is a small oil leak coming from the crank seal behind the ignition. :mad::mad: I'll see what I can do to fix that. Can't wait to get her on the road!!
 
BRAVO BRAVO...... :clap::clap::clap::clap:
That Yoshi sounds wicked, I would leave it like that, slip the baffle in for the roadworthy test, then get home and pull it out again.
Nice work, as always, can't wait to see it with all it's clothes on, pics, we need pics...........
