Love the look of the bike man, very nice build.

Do you happen to remember the part number or which uni filters you purchased? I've got my K&N's but as soon as I saw yours I was ready to make the swap.

Hope you still have the bike man.

Thanks. I ended up keeping the bike and adding a Guzzi V7. The Guzzi handles commuting duties.

Search for UNI PK-92 filters.

I took it out today for a nice ride. Living in Seattle means occasional winter riding, unlike Chicago, where I parked it in November and pulled it out in April. It ran fine, but I am getting some brake squeal. I think that when the calipers were powder coated, some of the paint interferes with the calipers float. I'm going to disassemble them and take a look.

Thats awesome.. I'm in the expensive process of rebuilding one of these engines from boxes of parts.. been collecting bits for over a year now, and assembly will start within a month. No kids here so hope to get it together before spring. No real rush though as i have one running.

About the brake squeal - grinding the sides of the pads to an angle will solve it.
