Wow

But I do feel a lot better that it is in your hands now, knowing that you're going to get it running right. I've been checking back on this thread, it has been cool to see what you have done to it.

Damn! Looks a bit different now haha

I'm stumped. Battery is fully charged. Kickstarter wont even turn it over. Left cylinder had a spark, right cylinder did not. Now the electric start isn't doing anything. I did have a friend look over the bike and the glass fuse holder broke for the headlight fuse. He said it would be ok...

Vacuum caps are on the barbs. I was having a ticking noise from the engine that seemed to go away when the engine warms up.
