its worth a shot!

Hi everyone! I do a fair bit of lurking here and pipe in occasionally. Right now I am trying to figure out an exhaust design to spend a bit of the tax check on. Its based off of the Gordon Scott curved drag pipes but it seems he isn't in business anymore. Another option i hadn't finished is...

thats a pretty awesome idea, will the lexan cloud over time?

Finally managed the time to get it mostly wired up. Still need to add in the tail and headlight circuits but the necessary running circuits are there! And with a little ether I'm getting flame out the exhaust so I think I managed to actually wire it right. Next up is fixing the placement of the...

I would say no, but anyone feel free to come and correct me. the 1980 and up models used the tdi ignitions which have the timing pick up on the stock charging rotor. When you replace with the PMA you will lose that. I Would also probably install the pamco first and make sure that is working well...

Surprisingly I still have this bike! It's been floating with me through college and getting some attention here and there. The charging system was never right from when the start. The rotor was shot. Trying to getting a decent tune without a charging system is not too fun, so that's pretty much...

It's worth a shot!

Would you happen to still have this? PM inbound

Looking good! what is that gold yamaha tank off of?

still have this?

The F should be between two line. at idle you want it to be set between those two lines. I've read that its best to err on the side of retarded rather than advances if you can get it exact.

that oring is 4mm i.d. x 1 mm thick

that is very large! you want .003 on the intakes and .006 on the exhaust
