Street terror? Its alcohol injected 1075cc, 1980 Drouin SC kit. Did I mention I have 1979 Bimota body kit for it too and it has a full 07-10 R1 front and rear? Lol.
In the end it's a bike that when it rolls up to the bar/cafe people are like WTF!
New goodies to help me continue on. Looks like I have the carb figment issue solved for the most part.. Lol. I think I may want to do something slightly different tho. Might build some spacers.
Ok finally figured out the clutch engagment issue. I was trying to follow yamaha spec to set the clutch and couldnt figure out why it wouldnt seat where the rod normally seats. Fucking with it for a good hour I figured out I cant get it to seat normally becuse its not normal anymore.

So I haven't been working much on this bike. Double vacation, other bikes and a new kind Sheppard pup. It's been busy. But ramping up this weekend and plan to work a little less this summer to get some build time in.
I got my custom offset sprocket and it fits well so I am not dependant on anything else other than my own time. There will be progress this weekend.
I started building something to overcome it when I realized I could build something easier if I got a few things. I did a bunch of other things that took time but are pretty uneventful for pics.
