Whew, been awhile. Ok here's how she stands. She's pretty much all there now, just a few bugs to work out.
I was getting ALOT of flash rust on my plain steel parts, so my buddy Richard clear-coated them for me in exchange for some pinstriping work. Looks kickass, Richard. Thanks!
Still looking for a throttle sleeve bracket/holder (whatever you call it)...the cheap eBay one I found broke on the first day...not such a bargain afterall.
I got her to start up the other day. Fuel and flames were pouring out of the carbs and backfiring all over the place...I guess I need to clean those again (for the 3rd time).
The stock coils were weak as all get out. So, I went and got a Harley-D coil from the local shop. Now I'm kicking 30,000 volts...yeehaw!!
Budget wise, I'm still ok too. Grand total to date is a little under $2000.
Sorry, no pics...it's a surprise.
