1978-1979 ideally but open to other years. Please contact me with pictures and your asking price. I will immediately update this post once I buy a bike.

Pics?!!!

You are under Ron Bayless I think.

So next question... I was considering replacing the intake manifolds. I ordered a pair from Georgefix on eBay but I think I got the wrong size. Does anyone know the correct diameter for the side facing the carbs?

Subscribed. Dying to see pics. Nice seeing a familiar name here.

I should have clarified earlier that I cleaned a total of 6 jets when I did the carbs. 2 in each bowl and 1 in each body.

Hi Ron. I see you followed me over from the GS forums ;)

5twins... it weird that you say that about the choke... Although I'm running it without airboxes at the moment (just to test start).

Nevermind... I'm stupid... a small adjustment to idle screw and it's fixed.

I'm thinking pilot or mixture screws. Does any one happen to know all the stock jet sizes for my 1979? If I pull the carbs again then I'm planning to go all new as long as they are apart.

Le sigh. The bike runs great in the down position. Revs freely and idles at 1,000 rpm's. But if I pull the lever upwards... she dies after a bit. Thoughts?

I finally got the bike running today. I changed both oil filters and the oil as well as the points. Still a lot to do but at least I have proof of life. Question about my choke though... is the down position on the choke lever "off"?

Found one. Thank you for all that took the time to look.

Sorry I meant the side badges.

It looks like a found a set from member Phyberoptic. They are being shipped to me now.
