Downright spring like for December.
I just realized were practically neighbors!Downright spring like for December.
I’m very close to rabbit hash! Coffee sounds good! I know they mayor well!Yeah, keep that in mind if you need any niggly bits....thinking I've an '81 untitled frame in the pole barn along with some parts and pieces that went with it, mostly junk but perfect for low budget maintaining.
I know Union and Independence well enough to find my way out and back home again.
Might have to have coffee in Rabbit Hash someday, pet the mayor, toss him some treats......
@gggGary do I need to be concerned with the thickness of that washer?I just posted this elsewhere but USA spec 80-84 BS34's with stock brass tend to REALLY like this mod.

Gets rid of a factory stumble, flat spot about 3K RPM.
most radioshacks or computor stores have an appropriate washer they're usually SS and all about the same thickness.@gggGary do I need to be concerned with the thickness of that washer?
Ordered! Thanks! Says they come in a pack of 100 so looks like I'm good for another 49 sets of carbs!most radioshacks or computor stores have an appropriate washer they're usually SS and all about the same thickness.

In 1987 I did a similar mod on a NOT XS650 4 cylinder motorcycle and used pop rivet washers, 1/8" I think. Worked a charm and sold the bike 25000 miles later with plugs burning a light tan.@gggGary do I need to be concerned with the thickness of that washer?
That frame in your pole barn doesn’t happen to have OE exhaust does it??Yeah, keep that in mind if you need any niggly bits....thinking I've an '81 untitled frame in the pole barn along with some parts and pieces that went with it, mostly junk but perfect for low budget maintaining.

I definitely feel the flat spot. I'm gonna try this hopefully this weekend.In 1987 I did a similar mod on a NOT XS650 4 cylinder motorcycle and used pop rivet washers, 1/8" I think. Worked a charm and sold the bike 25000 miles later with plugs burning a light tan.
Just the headers, and I'd say they're better than having none.That frame in your pole barn doesn’t happen to have OE exhaust does it??
Just get out and ride it. You will find things that aren't just right, and it will break as well. These machines are anvil reliable to a point, but they still require a regular dose of attention.I have tons of fun while I'm doing it, only to get to that day when I clean up my tools, put em away, and realize I'm done. I sorta get a feeling of sadness that it's done. That lasts for like 47 seconds then I'm already on the hunt for another project. I may need an intervention.
