    And another.


    And these are what she looks like about now.








    I am waiting on some parts to come and some new tires. Hopefully will have her back on the road within a few days. Wish me luck. I will keep you all posted. Hope you enjoyed.

    Looks like not too bad a starting point.

    Did it sit long?

        It had 2010 tabs on it when I got it a few weeks ago, but I rode it home and cleaned out the carbs on it. Trying to get everything else ready then I will get her tuned and rollin again. Runs great tho. Cleaned up real nice.

        Not sure on the exhaust.

          Hey Tom,

          I think it also looks like a chrome version of my exhaust, which I got from JCW a few decades ago. I was told that mine was from a company called RC Engineering. Mine were ceramic black coated, I put them on shortly after I got back to the States from Japan, in my ignorant youth thinking that they would be better that stock...lighter and freer flowing? They did seem to help the upper rpm range like a 4-1 pipe should, and I never lugged it below 3k anyways, so I didn't really miss any low end grunt. YMMV!

                That exhaust, with the taper in the muffler section, looks alot like if nto identical to the MAC 4-1 shown on the UK site list of aftermarket exhaust.

                But then, after reviewing it I think what I have that was sold to me as Kerker 4-2 looks alot like the Jardine 4-2, but I do not think I have a crossover under there. Need to look at it.
                Life is what happens while your planning everything else!
