    OK getting closer, minus some carb issues, seems the A/F needle seats are damaged. Broke down an picked up used carbs from a crashed bike with 20k, they look good maybe a light cleaning, but will not glass blast them like I did the orginal set lol. Ordered pads for the front and rear, and they were not correct. Rebuilt the front master cylinder and calipers (brakes don't hang anymore) flushed the coolant with the machine at work, installed cobra exhaust clamps and flushed the rear brake fluid. With any luck tomorrow after work I can have a nice running bike.

    Bravo sir, keep up the good work!! Although I am a diehard RWB fan, I do really like the paint scheme on your bike. Can't wait to hear the ride report once she's running well again! :)

    About 200 miles put on it so far. Must say a really nice ride, quiet exhaust, smooth. I can't really call it a restore, just a good fix'n.

    Looks good. Congrats. I would not bungie on top of the cowl like that. That looks like stress cracks waiting to happen, and those are 2 of the hardest parts to find.
