Geting close to riding it
« on: April 30, 2011, 12:11:18 pm »
Still have to rebuild the carbs with stacks
Put on chain
Front brake
Wiring
Decide on a Tail light
Prime engine, oil
Torque check
Valve adjustment
Carb sync
And she'll be done in time for summer

Roach,
Yes its bobbed and almost 1' off the front of it.

Dave,
Its http://www.alsacorp.com/ Killer Candy Turquoise in rattel cans. Not an easy process. I don't recommend it. I had a paint booth in my garage and IMO I managed to mess up. Some others think otherwise besides the fact that I spent as much money on cans of paint to cover a pro job. My mistake on that.
