Had to take the exhaust tip off. Seems to run better without it. Also have to realign the front end. Rotor should be back by the weekend. Yeah. Wish I had the funds for a carb sync gauge!

My bad. I didn't read the project progress only section! I do have a before pic.. Every thing was frozen as in carbs., and brakes, tank floor rotten, and cracked stator cover with j-b weld on the inside...lol.. Cleaned the carbs 3 times using all the old gaskets. Did have to buy new needle and seats as there was no gasket under the seats. Had pods and the carbs had stock jets. Thanks to this site I got it all shook out. 17,000 miles on this 76 f1. Took the starter off but it cranks on one kick.

Before pic. First seat idea. Made the taillight from a halogen light housing. Did I say that Radiantz makes the best led's on the planet.

Always wanted a chopper. This is my first build. Couple of miles down the road and you were done...lol. Don't wanna do the same thing twice, hence the 750. The F1 ride is awesome. Not sure where I will go next.
