Oh my little woman would kill me! She allowed me enough time to finish this one before I started working on the new place. I just got it out of the garage, fired it up and it sounds GOOD! Then loaded the tractor and am heading to the other house to mow and work on it.
P.S. That thing looks good all together in the light.

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.
