hold off on pulling it willis. I had my bike for sale and a guy just bought it. Literally an hour ago and I have it on a trailer to bring to him. I'm going to give him this info and see if he is interested in contacting you. The tank that is on the bike developed a small pinhole leak. Thanks!

Looking for a nice clean tank with no dents for my 75. Let me know if you guys have anything. Thanks!

Thanks, It was a fun build. I'm currently spending all my time on my 63 Falcon and hate to see the bike just sit. Hoping it finds a good home.

Wheels and hubs powder coated, relaced with stainless spikes and new tubes and Kenda tires. Custom drilled front rotor. Freshly painted burnt orange tank with silver and black racing stripe and black side covers and black headlight bucket. New headlight, chain, new front and rear gears, new...

Thank you very Much 5T. I will lower the floats. They were actually racked and I twisted them to get them back. Are the Mike's needles ok. Or should I be trying to find them somewhere else?

Lowered straight to #4 and the flat spots were gone. Had a couple minor stumbles the first 2 times I jumped on it really really hard. Rode it around for a little bit and then pushed it hard a few more times but did not notice any problems. Seems like an improvement in throttle response overall.

I pulled the needle and it is a 45mm from the top clip slot. I changed the mains to 127.5 and it had no effect on the mix screws. They still only slow the idle as they are backed out. All the way in still creates the fastest idle. I did not change the needle clip setting and it is still in #1...

Thanks TZ. I am really happy with the way it turned out. The silver was some leftover platinum I had from a Subaru I used to have. Saw the old gold gas shocks on your post today. Your bike is looking great. I've been MIA for a while as I turned my attention to the car under the cover in the...

Changed the oil and wished it was warm enough to ride. There aren't many cars on the road these days.

Thanks 5T. I am going to order a pair of 4N8's just in case and I'll pull the current ones and measure them. Any thoughts on which main to start with? I ordered 125-132.5.

So here is what we have. 1975 XS with BS38's from 1975 as well. I have owned the bike for 2 years. The bike idles and runs well. It pulls clean through the gears and RPM range. The bike is stock with the exception of pod filters and aftermarket pipes. They are the EMGO Commando from Mikes...

+1 on the Super Bright LED's LF1-S. I used the PIN version.It was super easy and the flash pattern is perfect.

7 days per the PD sheet. I was right at the end of the window with stripes and life getting in the way. I color sanded prior to top coat so I am not worried about adhesion. Otherwise I could have sprayed an inter-coat clear to and then striped over that which would have extended the window. My...

Thanks Daniel. Looking forward to posting the finished bike pictures soon. I have a new halogen headlight, new grips, a tach block off cap, new rubber mounts for the tank, new fuel lines and new barbed carb boots to install and then I am going to need to find something else to do with my time!

Sprayed clear last night. This has not been sanded or polished yet.

Pete: I pulled the tape after about 15 minutes. I am using a pretty fast reducer, so the paint is flashing quickly.

I airbrushed the platinum metallic stripe last night.
