    Most of the missing fuel milage is most likely from the carbs being out of adjustment and need to be synked.

      RMAN,

      Too bad I didn't know you were back. Just returned from 170 mi ride, checking out the Sat rally route. Got sidetracked by a forest fire (!) near Canadensis. Next weekend looks good for me, Sat afternoon ok for you?

        Saturday is good with me. Thanks Randy I know you will know how to get this old bike into good running condition. I will try to get the front tire replaced this week.

        I am guessing the new mufflers affect how the carbs perform. And you would probably have a better idea if my rear wheel is whacked or not.

        My work is sending me back to Alaska again in May but I should be back before the rally.
