Where did you get the hard tail struts (or whatever they should accurately be called?) Did you just have some bar stock cut and bored? I'd like to do something like this with my bike but I'm worried about safety (structurally).
I'm in Van, and I ride with a group called the Caroles (check out the group on Facebook). Meeting every Sunday at Prado Cafe on Commercial Dr around 830. I'm spending the weekend rebuilding part of mine so I won't be there till next.
Hmm. This is interesting because I bought the bike which is a 78, but with an 81 engine. Not sure if the PO changed the carbs. Would there be any problems running an 81 engine (designed for 30mm carbs) with 32 mm carbs? Or vice versa?
