2 inches of clearance under the header. I have already scrapped the header on shake down run.

Damn. That's disappointing. Be OK on the strip I'll bet. Is Leon making up some trees for you? 3"?

I have discussed it with him. My brother thinks he can design a pair as well. We were discussing doing it right and making the upper and lower. That way we can put some offset in them and get some turning radius back and be able to use stock bearings. As for drop on the triple he was thinking 2".

What's the compressed travel on those forks? You don't want to be plowing the road on hard stopping.

I need to play with them. I have never had forks I could adjust. I just had them rebuilt. I am only 165lbs and when I push on the front end i barely move it. I probably need to adjust them a bit.

I'd undo the tops and see how far down they will go.

I have been under the impression that the long intake runners between the carbs and the cylinder head is what makes the 34 carbs somewhat sluggish. I think the 29/31 setup is good or smoothies as they can be expanded using jet changes to get just about any engine to run hard.

Got the BS 34's cleaned, rebuilt and Dynajet Stage 3 kits installed. Waiting on a new throttle cable and we will see how they do.

soooo,
am i correct in assuming that the foam filter pictured fits over the velocity stacks to filter them????

Correct, I spray K&N oil on the inside to help catch particles as well.

An epic build, I just read the entire thing. Bravo Jon, you have creativity and perseverance in equally large amounts, the bike looks amazing and I have no doubt it will be when it is sorted.

Thank you for the compliment Nils.
