brad might be a tight race here, almost finished now.. just some small odds and ends that need to be wrapped up. for some of the early followers who were very concerned about the front end drum brake, need not worry. the bike actually brakes pretty well, and with both front and rear brake applied it actually haults to a stop. I didn't notice this until I was tossing the treads on the rims, but my front wheel has a larger diameter drum. also got my taillight and got a rough mount to see how it looks, and I don't think it could fit in there any better, nice and tucked away. also, just rattle can bombed the tail and tank for a visual, and im thinking ill leave the side of the tank raw, with the stock black badges. thoughts?

so before the night ended my brother suggested I toss this two into one intake I had laying around with some random xv carb on the end of it, on my bike, just for shits.. this intake and carb were in a box of parts I bought for 40 bucks a couple weeks ago... so without even looking inside the carb we just threw it on there, and wouldn't ya believe it, the bike runs. and runs well. so I guess I'll just go fuck myself then. haha. I have no clue what's going on with the stock dual carb setup, I feel like I've covered every aspect with zero result. so I guess I'm gonna be running the single carb setup. more updates tomorrow when I get out for a decent cruise around the block

haha I will do my best to get you some video footage of the bike. not much going on right now, just finished up some little odds and ends, gonna drop off my tank/tail next week to be finished up, just a little budget job nothing special.. added the front racing plate, figure if I cant beat the bott bike, might as well join em. lol. really like how its turned out, gonna put some miles on the ole girl end of next week. thanks for all the help from the DTT family, really appreciate all your shit talking, random insults, and words of wisdom.
