The only other thing I have not done was try a new battery

I have a a 1993 FZR 600 what measurements do you need if you still need them?

Rebuilt the carbs before it started running bad then I rebuilt them again thinking something got through the fuel filter causing it to run bad; however that was not the case

I'll make sure ill do that once I start the tail piece! So I put some finishing touches on the sketch. Everything is not set in stone yet but liking it so far. Next thing can someone tell me if I can get rid of those awful CV carbs and go with mechanical sliders that are on the KZ550?
