MAN! I keep going back to that photo & looking at them wide white walls and all that twisted steel and CHROME, and I envision some dude cruising along, humming Margaritaville while watching the tourists on that baby. What a piece of work!well this is my project juts for MEEEEEEE!!!!! the rake of the forks is way to much im getting another set http://motorbicycling.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=78213&d=1432592502 this is the cylinder I smoothed it out a lot more http://motorbicycling.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=78214&d=1432592582 and added the reed valve ramped the piston and notched it also adding the diamond Jake's head the H-D bolt lighting ignition and a competition carb with the 32 tooth sprocket it should be a good ride lol
I've always found that the engine begins to run leaner as the rings seat. Most like to be set leaner at first, but can be richened a bit later. Whenever I deliver a new engine without running it in well myself, I always send it out a bit on the rich side to allow for this.While doing a bit of cruising on the ol' soldier I made the amazing discovery that leaving just a bit of the choke closed on that nice, new carb seemed to make it a bit more eager to run. This makes me think there's some experimentation ahead. Of course, this may be due to the drilling I've just done on my exhaust, too. I think that engine is just now turning enough miles to be beginning to be broken in - sorry I never kept track of just how many.
That is interesting stuff - I think you've got me headed in the proper direction, here. The happy part of all this is, that with the improvements I've done to this little sucker the experimenting is actually fun in the good spring weather.I've always found that the engine begins to run leaner as the rings seat.

Hey, it's just as loud upside down as right side up! Besides, if I really wanted to, I could flip those around myself. If anyone pulls in front of you & claims they didn't SEE you, be nice & just smile. That is a great color scheme for spring.wow why did the pictures turn upside down?????
