I haven't been around this forum in a while...but I'm itching for a new project...so you might see me a bit more. I thought I post some updates to my bike. Any comments or feedback is appreciated. This bike is an ongoing project to play with, so I enjoy any feedback to use going forward.
Some of the major changes I made was to the exhaust and carbs:
I used stock scrambler pipes and chopped the mufflers, wrapped and brushed up the tips. I like the way they turned out.
As for the carbs...I think the stock size was too small so I put some Mikuni VM32's on. They run a bit rich now, but I'll tune it some more. I think they have much more potential.
My buddy made some bars for one of his projects...but ended up not using them. I love them and look much better than the stock bars I had....so here they are.
I'm using forks from a CB 550 that had some tabs on it that I didn't need. So I took a cutoff wheel and some hand files and shaved them down.....then black.
Thanks to a couple of friends I managed to get my seat pan stiched and wrapped to represent our group. I think it turned out great.
I still have a bit of work to do on the bike, but I think I made some good progress over the winter.
