Thank you. The extenders seem to have worked. The bike fires up nice and easy and first gear feels nice all the way up. For some reason im not able to get beyond neutral. The shifter linkage is sloppy

Made some pod extenders from silicon adapters. Engine has been rebuilt and new custom wiring harness and 2 into 1 exhaust. 9ish

This is a sweet little bike! that muffler is exactly right for it. sorry no info on this e code thing. What front end is that?

These tires have modern rubber but look old. I’ve pushed them a little on the cold dry and they were fine. I’m too chicken in the wet to find out much.

I will report back later this weekend. The PO included them in the sale. I’m building 17s to swap on later. Thanks for the compliments. I’m digging this bike

Picked up this bike about a month ago. PO said had battery drain but I’m pretty sure main issue was dead R/R. Out with all the old chopped up wiring. Minimized custom harness (not yet come complete) New ricks lithium R/R Antigravity 8 cell lithium battery ZXR shocks New Firestone champions...
