Incredible transformation in only 3 months, Les! Looks awesome! Will you be riding this in the Relay ride? If so, I look forward to the photos from your part of the ride.

Thanks guys and yes, I will be riding this in the relay, part of the reason I pushed to finish it so quickly. I wanted to get some shake down time before the ride. I like modifying more than I like riding. Sounds crazy but kinda true.
The pipe aint no kerker but it's okay, I have the baffle in with no packing and it's a little quieter than I would have thought. I've got some suppertrap disc that I may make a holder for and try them.
One thing I'm going to do is modify a set of carb manifolds for vacuum ports so I can synchronize the carbs. Runs good but you can tell they are slightly off at idle.

5 mile shakedown and no issues other than I need to move the shift lever out more. With the kickstand up it's in the way. Missed a couple shifts, gotta love a rev limiter. It pulls pretty good to 8500 where I set the rev limiter, front end comes up fairly easy in low gear.
