    Thanks fredintoon I've had my eye on the HHB slimline master cylinder for a little while now. Should be pickin one up in the future at some point. As for the fork brace, what are the differences between running one and not running one. I'm completely uneducated as far as that goes. Bike...

    So a shitload of stuff has been accomplished since I last posted. I fell off the map and it was hard to keep track of everything all at once. Bike is "done" for now. Chased a bunch of problems and got them sorted. Basic list of things that have been done is Laced my 19" front wheel up to a...

    So with the new pipes my left leg ended up resting against them due to the forward controls. After trying to figure out what to do for mids, I ended up ordering a set of the pandemonium "high n tight" mid brackets. The previous owner shaved off the stock exhaust bracket on the frame so I had to...

    One new addition to the bike as you might have caught in the last post was a set of new exhaust pipes. I grabbed a set of "ya mama" pipes from the fellas over at Pandemonium. They came raw so I cleaned them up and sprayed them with black high temp grill paint and to be honest they came out...

    So as far as the electrical went I ended up stripping it all out and getting rid of the twisted together connections the previous owner left behind. I replaced all wires and limited breaks/connections. Everything was soldered and shrink wrapped. I went to my local harbor freight and found 48"...

    So it's been about a year since my last update and not much has happened. I completed the wiring and fired the bike for the first time all year. Everything works as it should and she idles great. Ordered a bunch of miscellaneous parts and I have been held up due to the lack of knowing how to...

    Got my new uni pod filters. Anyone know the proper jetting when running these pods. I'm running mikuni bs34 carbs.

    Installed the new brake line and it fits perfectly. Just the right amount of slack. I wanted to keep it positioned rather than having it flap in the wind so I cound a 3/8" retaining clip with a rubber sleeve. Drilled out the openin for the bolt and attatched it to my forks.

    Thank you for the information. I'll be doing away with the k&n shortly as I just ordered a round set of uni pods. Would have never known otherwise

    New front brake line came in. Got rid of the stock 2 part brake line with junction and replacing it with a single straight line. Found a listing on ebay for $35 and you pick your own length, color, and fittings (angles too). I went with a 34" end to end with two alternating position 15 degree...

    Thanks xsLeo, out of curiosity, what's the reasoning behind the xs pods as far as why they create tuning issues. I've had my eye on a set of round black foam uni pods
