    They are a couple of Harley slip on mufflers that I had laying around that I took off of another bike years ago. They really make the bike sound unique.

      Okay, here are a couple of photos without the blue tarp. Sorry about so may shots. Kind of proud of it. First time I've ever done this much.

        And to put it in perspective. This is what I started with. You can see the waterline from the flooding.

          Hi Rich,
          What a contrast. Thanks for sharing. You should be very proud of your achievement. Anyway we like pictures So a series of your bike with different backgrounds would be nice Some local landmarks or buildings as a suggestion.

            Be careful what you ask for. In Williamsburg, landmarks are us. The question is how many can I get before I'm arrested.

              You should be proud of that transformation!

              But ... err, umm ...is that the BLUE TARP I see in the background?

                I got the replacement #2 carb yesterday, transferred all the parts, reinstalled and it worked.

                She's now synced and firing on all four cylinders. Sent for a ride and everything is great.

                Like to thank George for the loaner carbs and Schming for providing the functional #2 carb body.

                So the project bike is now complete and I have everyone on this forum to thank for the great help you gave me over the last two years (off and on).

                Time to ride...

                  Hey Rich,

                  Speaking of Riding, so you're still up for the trip to XSSE in a few weeks?

                  George and I had talked about starting on Thursday so we can leisurely go out 58 W till be hit the BRP, and then ride that ALL the way down to the Iron Mountain/Tuskeegee Motel on Friday!

                  Your bike looks AWESOME....I'll be ashamed to ride too close to you now, guess I can take up the rear....will probably let George lead...he has the Smart Phone/Gps App!

                    As long as things stay the same I see no reason why I can't ride with both of you. Count me in.

                        Hey George,

                        I had forgotten about your cruise trip! Glad to see you made it back okay. We should take this to the PM's.
