Wow....that engine. I can't wait to polish mine after my fingers heal from wet sanding the case covers on my wife's ct70.

Titanium needles, 145 mikuni jets, one up on the pilot jet too. Chrome powdercoated bodies. Stainless hardware. Brass cross tube and all new rubbers. Polished inside and out. Synced the throttles Just have to fit the choke rod and install them. Thanks to MMM for the jet formula and internals. Hopefully minor air screw adjustments will dial them in.

Lookin' real good. You didn't spend any time on those side cover's huh? They look absolutely gorgeous. That exhaust, is that one of Mike's? Or Murph's? Not bad. They look nice and tucked up, hopefully they won't drag in the twistie's. I got the Mike's 2 into 1 on mine and only at really high cornering will it drag. Think you could do a YOU TUBE once it's running. I'd like to hear Her run.

Thanks. The front pipes are stock....the rears are flow thru baffled angled cocktail shakers sold as aftermarket for a norton commando. Came wrapped in 1969 news paper from san Fran. Many like them on several sites but I got these on ebay. The ends and baffles are removeable. I'll be recording something for sure.
