Needs the carbs sync'd!  But, it runs pretty well.  If I were keeping it I would probably swap in the K1 motor's shift linkage for better feel.

I had to get some help sorting out the carburetors, but they're all good now, and the bike rides very nicely!

Well I may have never ridden a sandcast but I pushed that one out of the trailer once!

I think Bill saw how I was looking at it longingly and he's kept it locked it up when I'm around since then!  :D

The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S.

Greggo, congrats on BOTM and she's a beauty.

Your dad's partner does some very nice welding work. Could you explain how he went about reparing that pipe? Is that a chrome high temp paint? Or, what was used on the metal around the repair?

Thanks! David
