That bike is so rad! I can't wait to see how it looks when it's finished.

Thanks mate.
Yes, they are the Mikuni RS34's.
They're bolted onto one of Mike Rieck's stage 4 heads.
I've installed a set of 836 JE pistons and a 125/75 Megacycle camshaft, Cyclex Super Rods and list goes on.
I think that it should spool up fairly quickly and there may well be some altering to do once it settles in.

Well, the temperature got to 60 today.  My neighbor got his Ducati out.  I am waiting for my CB's battery to get ready to run.  My CB500 is closest to the door.

No more clubmans for me!  Going with superbikes now, will see how much more ergonomic that is.

Was watching another thread, curious to see the outcome, 'cause i was having the same issue.

Pulled the rear wheel and found I'm missing the outside collar.

The PO had used the step spacer as the collar, Thank God I caught this when I did, thanks to the people on that thread.

Here you wouldn't get stopped for that small amount over, unless..................................you were on a motorcycle or there was a ticket quota.  that ticket is too bad, and 300 to boot....Larry
