    Thanks! Thinking then I can just take them off? If they aren't going to a stock filter box of anything whats the point of the 10" of hose hanging there?

    Ran fridge water copper tubing line for the carb over flows. One question as I am not a carb guy. What are the two extra hoses in between that carbs mounted just above the intake, one in between each set. They go to nothing, just about 10" long. Breathers?

    I used Dupli-Color (GM's polar/arctic white & bahama metallic blue) The blue is a lot lighter than photos can show. The orange pin stripe is tfx (1/16-1/16-1/8)

    This is looking great man! What gaiters did you use? Put the wrong size on there and can't seem to find the right ones. Painting the wheels looks good - I need to get that done!

    Looking for advice on what electrical units need to stay out in the open air and what can be tucked in the tail. Also if I can delete anything

    So cool that you chimed in man. I haven't fired it up since I cut the exhaust. I'll post a video when its up and running again. The guy I got it from, I think he said he knew you. Do you remember his name and/or have his contact information? I know what you mean though.. baby #2 is coming in...

    Do/did you need to update or modify your charging system to use the lithium ion batteries?

    SICK. But on their site it says not for daily use at all.

    Shock make-over. Paint still went - satin finish. Buddy brought over a spray for re painting struts.

    Thanks! That is a killer battery ~ little out of the budget though. Know of a middle of the road option or is this definitely the one I need?
