Finally hit the pavement and nothing fell off!

D fin as Lily got the go and stop nailed down. What a blast to be back in the wind! Lol
She runs pretty good but the carbs need some tuning. Isles okay, stumbles right off the throttle like she's starving and then runs like a raped ape. Cruising is fine also. Gotta read thru the carb guide again. I did clean the carbs and used the jets that MMM from 650central suggested but made no other adjustments. Man what a feeling to be back on the road! Lol

Thanks. Yes I need to paint and polish everything. The frame is just primered and the rear fender is raw. Only got five miles in yesterday but it was great. Gotta get the tires balanced too. I have been procrastinating on paint because I have no idea what colors I want yet.
Sorry for the original post looking like a different language, guess the post ride beers were kicking in. Lol

Hi chopit,
with only 5 miles, let's say that nothing has fallen off yet.
Recycling what the Scotsman said about what color to paint a boat:-
"There's only two colors, one's black and the other is the one fools use."

I've only got about 50 miles on my rebuild and I am astounded it runs so good!
