Sorry to hear you are having to go through all this again Sparty, good luck mate.

Sam,

Not going through anything. Life is great. Just feel that since I am not riding the CB anymore it is a shame to let it sit in the garage. I am having too much fun touring on the KTM.

Hope all is well with you,

Met this awesome guy today and gave the Hot Rod a new home! Trailering it home as we speak....

Need to do some maintenance to take it out of a long hibernation, but shouldn’t take much till she’s screaming on the pavement again

Thanks Art! I promise to treat the hot rod well

Very cool, Joe!

Well done Joe!! I saw the head of that bike get the treatment from MRieck and was lucky enough to meet Art when he came up to Boston -very cool guy indeed. You got a great bike looking forward to seeing a ride report!

Will Do Andy...I have a few things to do before a real ride report.

Mainly tires and figure out a fueling issue...sounds like starvation. I’m going to get it on the remote fuel tank when I get home to see if it’s a clogged petcock.

Probably will pull the carbs for a quick inspection and clean.

The tank had a por-15 liner sometime in its past so hopefully the liner isn’t breaking down and gumming up the works.

Likely going to upgrade the disks up front and change handlebars while I’m doing tires. Never was much for the club mans but we’ll see after a few rides.

The whole engine got the treatment.

A lot of polishing work went into that engine.....a lot of internal work too! Those CR carbs can be a pain. Personally I'd switch to RS's.
If you have any questions about the engine feel free to contact me.

Thanks Mike...I’m sure I’ll have a few questions for you to make sure I’m educated on a few points. Out of curiosity...what is it that makes you prefer the RS’s over CR’s?

About time Joe

Glad it worked out.

Cant Wait till that and Jerrys Weber bike show up at a reunion.. nice score..

As you can see, the bike is in a new set of hands. My wish came true that a forum member would want the bike. I know that it will be appreciated and cared for in the manner it deserves. I only met CBJoe and his wife for a short time but I am sure if we lived in the same town we would be fast friends. I thought maybe I would have seller's remorse but the bike needs to be in Joe's garage. Joe's going to be grinning when he feels that engine open-up on its top end. Hopefully, in the near future, I'll make it to a gathering if you don't mind me showing up on my KTM 1190 Adventure

Hey Art! I'll post a picture of the grin when it happens

Technically it's already happening as we just got home and unloaded everything into the garage

Mike, was the bike run on the dyno?

Art is best to comment, but If I remember correctly it was dyno'd somewhere around 93hp. I plan to take up to our local Ducati Dealer to Dyno it after all the maintenance is done and it's shaken out.

Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er · « **Reply #42 on:** April 15, 2018, 08:28:44 PM »

Tell them you're expecting 75hp, watch them snicker then blow them away.

Yeah it was about 90 if I remember correctly. Those carbs need to be throughly cleaned especially the fast idle (choke) circuit.

Final post in this thread.....officially started a project thread to document anything on the bike moving forward. http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php/topic,171693.0.html

Hey Joe!
I'll be real interested in their results. Mine was so pitiful, but I've finally got some tips to look for courtesy Mike and Ken and CycleX. Man what a nice guy!
