Still going to tweak the carb tuning a little bit but I'm going to call this one COMPLETE!!!

Currently waiting on parts. My least favorite pastime.

Anything above about 1/2 to 3/4 throttle results in the engine completely bogging down and in my opinion, sounds like it's getting too much fuel but the plugs aren't really reflective of that. I think i am going to change the main and retest.

The problem is, WOT only bogs down and wouldn't really bring the RPMs up at all so I don't think the full throttle chop is really an accurate one.

Blinker issue is resolved. I want to give a big should out to Matthew at Sparck Moto for sending out a replacement flasher relay really quickly. Unplugged the old, plugged the new and blinkers work properly. Thanks. Went on some plug chop runs this afternoon trying to identify why it's not...

Ok GS experts, what's the trick to remove the tank without fuel going everywhere? This vacuum petcock with no off position is driving me crazy!

I put about 25 miles on it today starting the tuning process. Starts and idles pretty well but bogs down at initial throttle. I am going back to the 15 primary jet instead of the 25 I put in. Hope that helps. Runs pretty good at higher RPMs. Exhaust sounds like a complete beast. My original...

Upholstery guy came through this week.

Using a brand new universal flasher relay. Everything works fine (except flashing) with no flasher in the mix. Lose both front and rear led turn signals with flasher in the circuit and still no flashing on the indicator. They are going to send a new flasher. Hopefully this one is just defective.

Need wiring help!! Flasher not flashing. What am I missing here? From the battery, the power goes into the fuse block which then goes into one lug on the flasher. The other lug goes to the turn signal handlebar control. If I bypass the flasher entirely and go directly from the fuse block to...

I actually have the R/R on spacers. I thought it would help to have more airflow. Think I should remove and mount direct?

Dyna S installed

I hear you and it was/is a concern of mine also. I do have a pretty good forced air thing going on into the elec pan. I'm going to cross my fingers, keep a close eye on it and will make a change if necessary.

Wiring pretty much complete.

Calling all wiring experts. I'll be the first to admit that wiring isn't my specialty but I've spent quite a bit of time reading up and think I have a decent handle on most of it. There is one area I can't seem to figure out. The wires don't match my manual so I'm not sure what each of these...

Wiring is next. Should be an adventure.

Luckily, I live in a state that doesn't really care. Already have my tag and no inspection was required. I can imagine it would be no fun to have to redo it though.

Few items checked off the list this weekend. Had to modify the bar end mirrors to fit inside clip on bars. CNC license plate mount. Went through a few locations in my head and settled on this spot because it could double as a shock spacer as well as no exposed wire for the light.

Just a quick update since it's been a while. Disaster struck just prior to clear coating the tank/fender and long story short, the end result was not acceptable to me which meant stripping all the paint off and starting over. This time, I decided to do it a little differently so after primer...

Loving all the custom work on this. That's what really sets some bikes apart in my opinion.
