So after fighting with the monster for months today Frankenstein fires up. Yeah it ran like **** but it ran! I'm new to building vintage bikes and this thing has been a fight for me. I know it needs some serious carb tuning since I pieced the carbs together from a box of parts but Damn I'm excited to just hear the thing run. I'll start posting here about the progress and welcome any help. I owe bikerphil a ton for his help.

Awesome!!! It is always a huge boost to get them running. As I always tell myself, it makes the turd seem worth polishing once they run!!
Life is what happens while your planning everything else!
When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

I just took it for a ride across the parking lot! Ran like crap! Probably the most rewarding ride I've even been on lol. Barely any brakes, headlight hanging off and one if the headers glowing red. Point is I took a box of parts and a hull of a bike and made it rideable! It's gonna need love but now I know it's a bike and not just a pile of crap!!!Comment
