I know this may sound crazy, but I knew virtually nothing on motorcycles a few months ago. This site and others have helped with my project, so I am posting this here to see if anyone can help. As you can see in the pics, I have come a looonnnngggg way, so I can figure things out but on this one, I am hoping for a speedier learning process.
I am building the Daryl Dixon motorcycle from the Walking Dead. At this point, I am ready to mount the tank and get this bad boy running. The front end is an R6, but the frame and engine are a 1992 CB750. The tank is an XS650.
What I am looking for is exactly how to run all fuel lines from the tank to the carbs, in other words a video if you guys know of one or detailed instructions that may be out there on a step by step. I have scoured Youtube (and yes the user manual), but nothing really shows me how to go from the petcocks to the carbs and then the lines on the carbs. Also, I will be mounting an air cleaner from steeldragonperformance.com so I assume I will need to rejet the carbs, but I think I need to get everything installed first to see how the mix is. Yes, I know that the factory air box works best, but Steel Dragon says the air cleaner will work, and there are plenty of stories of guys who got it right. Top it off with the build needs to look as close as possible to the one on the show, and you can understand why I am dedicated to the look.
I have attached pics of the bike and the air cleaner (there are two air cleaners) as well, but again, anything like a video or detail on the carb install would be awesome. The bike is still only 80% done and my first one, so don't poke fun at a newbie.
