    Frame Question: Am I seeing things?

    Got my new seat, and starting to work on fabbing the mounts, etc. PO had the Omar's seat/tank on the bike, and had wrapped some foam around several sections of the frame, which I assumed was to protect from tank and seat vibration. Now that I have taken it off the rear "upright" sections...

    Keihin Base-line settings?

Also, the clutch cable...
