NEWS! Test rode it for the first time last week. It actually did not run too bad, for just a quick run through of the carbs. However, I will be tearing them full apart for a dip in the acid and possibly powdercoat. Still havent decided on color and if I even want to powder the bowl/slide cover.
Checked the plug wires, and were all correct. I will try the bike again tomorrow afternoon if I go to wrench a bit at the shop. Pulled the plugs, sandblasted the tips, and put them back in. Black black black black, so far too rich for the mixture. I will fiddle with that tomorrow as well.
Also, my throttle cable snapped the other day... That was fun. So, my carb tuning ended early. Good thing there is a suzuki dealer down the street from the shop, and I can order it easily.
Alright this is for my own sanity (things to do)
-New throttle cable (not stock, shorter as there are clubmans fitted)
-Drill the top neck bolt (the one that is on top of the steering stem) to fit a pull choke just like the CBs
-Pressure wash the whole bike
-check the exhaust for a leak
-Fork seals/oil change
-New tires (most likely Avons as I've heard many good things)
-New shocks (most likely progressives)
-REARSETS!! I have to find a set to modify to work
-Cafe racer chopped frame?? new seatpan??
-Plug chops/tune carbs/carb synch
-Drill lower triple tree for headlight mount? Thinking about a trick LED light we put on a sportster a while back, but maybe not
-TEAR IT TO BARE FRAME.
-Powdercoat frame, engine covers, wheels, brake disks, pegs, handlebars, U/L triple trees, swingarm, shaft, and everything else I am forgetting.
