There's a neat trick involving a ratchet strap to get the carburetors back in. Let me know if you need any clarification on that when you get to that point if you haven't done too many of the V45 or V65 carbs. It seemed that last year everyone needed one fixed up, I think I did 10 sets last year, and BOY ARE THESE BIKES PEPPY! Congrats on a cool scoot. I wish I owned one!

Awesome. This dude looks like he's had a few beers, but like I said, I've used his trick at least 10 times, and boy is it easier!

And if you didn't know about this forum. http://v4musclebike.com/ They have some cool vendors that have hard to find parts for good prices.
I'm jealous of your ride man.

One other thing, if you haven't tried firing it up yet....pull the hose off and let it shoot out some of the crud from the fuel pump BEFORE hooking it up to the carbs and running it. I always put a new paper fuel filter (not the brass ones that look like fools gold) between that joint there where you have the two hose clamps. Just my .02! That cover is looking amazing like that, I agree with AbbyRider, the brushed look is great.

Thanks for the input on the fuel pump I will do that. I replaced all the hose and new fuel filter. Not sure the pump works. The prongs are to small to get anything in there to test it. I will pull that joint apart and do some cranking and make sure only clean fuel is coming out

it should turn on when you turn the key to the on position (no need to turn the engine over) it should pump a couple of times. This particular pump has some sort of back-pressure sensor on it too, so when the bike is running it isn't pumping all the time, just little spurts. Glad you already replaced the old fuel filter and lines, that's a great start.

I turn the key on and i do not feel anything at the fuel pump. Could it not pump because the petcock is closed(put an after market one on and not sure what position it is in). I tried puting the negative to the pump case and posotive to the black and pump doesnt make a sound? so i havent tried to start it yet? Any help please
