Well the bike tried to start but then started to backfire through the right cylinder, then it dawned on me that I have the plug wires reversed. I swapped them and she fired right up and runs very smooth.
Well I am off too get oil and gas and start the engine in the bike. I spent all day finishing up loose ends. I checked for spark this morning and there was a good blue spark to the new plugs, compression was very stout. Ill report back later
Why not get a roll of gasket material put a thin film of oil on your part or the existing gasket and cut a new one. Problem solved and you saved yourself 60+ dollars
From the back. Many members said to ditch the flat trailer fender and I agreed. This was the original chrome front fender from the xs donor bike. Looks so much better
Went with an old school paint job. How many of you remember Eerie-Dess from Metal-Flake corp. ? Also decided to install a sight glass on the side of the tank.
[/URL][/IMG]Thought I would show some pics of some test panels I made up. I am trying to decide which color I want to go with for the bike. Let me know what you guys think.
Been a while since I posted guys so I wanted to give you an update. The bike is almost done. Getting forms sent in to the state so I can get a vin number and a title.
I will send pics later
Construction and fab is complete. Start disassembly tomorrow and send everything out for paint. I still need to get a front brake caliper, new grips, and a set of pod air filters.

master cylinder is from a Kawasaki zx10 zing splat. only thing left for fabrication is making the exhaust pipes. Local muffler shop should be calling today to let me know that the pipes are bent into a "Builder's Kit"
