I really should have introduced myself at the after party but after the rain and all the craziness I headed for home when the second downpour hit around 7:40 without seeking you out. If I had known it was you I would have offered you and your bike a ride home in my truck and saved you the soaking...next time I'll try to make sure we meet. Maybe at the Steer Inn Vintage Night next month? I saw you get your trophy though (just didn't make the connection) and thought the event was better this year than last..the band kicked butt too. Congrats on the win! Jim

Also stumbled upon this picture taken by someone else in attendance. Looks like your bike made quite an impact.....

I have a '76 GT500 and I need a new speedometer. I noticed you had the acewell. Do you know what speedo ratio the drive is? I was just going to buy a mini mechanical speedometer, but I have no clue whether the stock speedo cable will fit one of these mini speedo's. Any input would be appreciated. Good day sir!

tyf324 said:Hey Wingspan,
Can you let me in on how you polished your engine side covers? I'd really appreciate it! Thanks
tyf324 said:Wingspan,
Im getting pretty close to finishing my Gt500 project. I have a few more questions for you. When moving to clip-ons from stock bars, did you utilize the stock cables (clutch, throttle)? Or did you buy shorter cables? Also, was the bleeding of the oil pump/lines during reassembly a pain? If so, how did you do it? And one more question, what main jet do you run in your Mikuni VM32's?
Thank you for your time.
I really should get this bike out again...it's been hiding under a sheet in the back corner of my garage since last June.
