Update! It's been a year since the last video, I've made a few improvements,but I still had a pesky oil leak from the oil filter. I've had a hard time finding the gasket kit for the oil filter and mounting bracket, any ideas?

Nice find, good looking bike!

I could sure use the dough!

I want to pick each of your brains, you won't hurt my feelings. I have a huge learning curve ahead, you guys can help by sharing some hard-knocks. There is an oil leak from what looks like near no. 2 exhaust, I know they all leak a little, this is more than a little. Any thoughts? The seat...

This is how i bought it. This is the first draft

I tried the propane test method, there was no change. Inspected all intake boots, they seem properly fitted. The idle jets are clean as a whistle, see my carb rebuild picture above! :) I think all idle crews may be too closed at one turn from seated. I will open all 4 to 1 1/2 turns and see...

Yesterday I used a timing light and attempted to adjust the timing, runs much better! I was a bit intimidated to try the timing adjustment on my own, but i'm glad i took this on, happy with the progress. Question-My carburetors have an accelerator pump, do the vacuum lines and original air box...

There has been progress to report! I had to replace the front lines for new set of Galfer Braided Stainless Steel Front Brake Lines - FK003D438-3. they look great! The rear master cylinder was clogged with old brake fluid, I ordered a rebuild kit, cleaned the old junk and rebuilt it. Works...

I m sure there is wealth of knowledge to mine from this group and I would truly appreciate any advice in regard to my brake conundrum and really the entire build.. I installed the front brake calipers and pumped brake fluid through the lines, leaving the purge open until brake fluid poured out...

I'm broke and I need front brake lines..

frustration and despair.. The motor is running better than at first.. but not by much. I been tinkering with the carburetors, but can't seem to get it to idle properly. It will only start and stay idling (high) with the choke on. Even once warmed, I can only shut the choke half way before it...

I heard my baby run for the first time in 4 years last night. Its been a long time coming and I can almost see this rat-tracker going down the road. I bough my machine on a whim while on a road-trip, with the intent to build a chopper out of it. I even bought a hardtail kit from TC Bros. Like...
