Hey Guys,
Thanks to everyone that's been helping on this project. Rode it for the first time last weekend. Started right up, pulled great. Need to do some rev tests to redline and get carbs dialed in but so far so good.
Lot's still to do, but we're gettin' there
List of mods:
dustall exhaust
mikes pod air filter
electric moved to under the seat
clip-on
engine bored to 680cc
p.s. for turn signals, can I use all single filaments, or do I need to wire up
running lights?
pics below of current bike and what I started with...

thanks guys. and thanks RG on the turnsignal clarification.
Yeah it's getting fun now. Alot more exciting to work on something that actually runs.
a BIG thank you to pamcopete he was alot of help getting the ignition sorted out. His assembly is worth every penny.
