Looks way better than mine. I've got a nasty groove in my jug.Did my first cylinder inspection this evening. Not too bad.......there is slight scuffing on the exhaust side, however, the cylinder still feels shiny smooth. Exhaust port is squeaky clean, but it still looks like it's running slightly rich. If I lean it down anymore than where it's at, it's a biotch to start. I guess I'll leave it where it's at for now.
This is at about 350 miles.
Still runs good though. lol
You're welcome Dan, Glad you're enjoying the added performance and of course the Puch head looks pretty cool in my opinion also, a good free flowing exhaust will add even more gain, just be sure to check the spark plug after you add a free flowing exhaust, dont want to have a lean run condition, if you're already a bit rich it may turn out to be a good tune for you but sure want to be for sure and not lean that engine to much.
That is a good question. A couple weeks ago I picked up some grade 8 allen bolts for my next ragjoint install. Overkill but I think it will look good.
There various reasons for using studs and nuts rather than just bolts to secure cylinders and heads;
Yesterday I rode about five miles, and didn't worry about a thing. It's nice when you finally get em right.
I had a bike similar to this one mine was a crane brook huffy the first time I stood on the pedal to take off the plastic pedal snapped off and almost hurt me something bad I replaced them out with these and after 4 years of hard daily ,year round riding, This set of pedals is all I have left of that bike!! Yours looks much better than mine did + I was weighing in @ 305lbs at the time
Wow that was a good score... I hope you are happy... I would be...Went to Denver to pick up a one Dyno but the guy never responded back to me, I even asked 2door to email the guy because he lives in the area. Funny story, I called a guy in Denver about a frame but he already sold it but he gave me a number to another fellow and after we talked he was on the hunt for me and found the Von Franco. Lots of nice people left in this world!
Anyways as things go it was a good thing, I wound up buying 2 Dynos for the same price as the one I wanted. The only thing these bikes didn't have are the stock triple tree forks which is a bummer but hopefully I can locate some good triple tree forks somewhere.
All packed in my car lol.
First bike is what I think is a older model because the front badge is a sticker and not a plate.
Second bike is a Von Franco, it came with the fenders and I'll be selling those along with the fake tank to replenish the building fund lol.
So many folks here helped me get to this point Culvercityclassic was a tremendous help even though I know he has a busy schedule so thanks again Jeff.
Dan.
