The paint is black with little gold flakes.

White pin stripe to match the stripe on the seat cover.

Looks great man!!! You got it running good with those pods on there?

Thanks man!

On the dyno we got it up to 70 horse. But now we're having a little trouble with the bike running a little rich. Plugs are fouling up.

Called Cycle X and they said with an 836 motor, 4 into 1 and their ignition the plug gap should be 0.020 to 0.022 not the stock 0.028. So we are experimenting.

Tuning the carbs a bit more.
