          Hey Murray,

          Don't stop there. Tell us about the carb and intake mods you've done. Are those flatside carbs....or just direct cable pull type slides, not CV/vac. actuated. And are there 4 carbs or only 2?

            Those look

            like Mikuni VM round slide carbs. That has to be some custom manifold setup though.

              once i have a complete baseline and have finished drive ability

              this is just a modification of my honda cb900 carb kit

                  ok a quick update lol

                  i was just out on the road for the first time almost have it where i want it

                  the thing hauls i need a bit more ignition work but otherwise its good

                  front brakes still suck lol even with teh fork brace i feel

                  like its cloudy with a chance of a front end swap

                  the progressives i put on the back are good no more jacking around on

                  a hard twist of the throttle

                  the new shinkos 230s hang on great and feel good!

                  i have to go thru the new tail light wiring as the lamp indicator is not happy

                  and its not a oil pressure issue

                  i have to finish tig welding the new rear frame section and then decide

                  what i am doing about side covers as then i can get them and the tank and

                  seat pan vinyl wrapped to match my other demo bikes
