Lol, thanks. i just put the engine back together after finding a bad oil control ring scored the #4 cylinder. I rode it last week, and the ignition started failing. troubleshooting begins today/tomorrow, and possibly an upgrade to some fancy Dynatek stuff  | |

I agree that the tank badges should be chrome... Maybe. I might have an extra set of badges that you can have if I can find them and if it fits. |

A little update: The bike never really ran "good". eventually, pulled the cylinders off to replace a leaky base gasket. upon pulling the cylinders off, I found #4 piston oil rings had bent out, and scored the living shit out of the cylinder wall. I was gifted a donor bike, with a solid engine with only 16k miles. a swap of the cylinders and pistons later, and the jetting issues sorted themselves out. now the bike runs as well as can be expected, with CV carbs, and no airbox. a rack of flat slide carbs is on my wishlist from sudco, as well as the money to finish the 816cc, hi compression big bore kit i have in a box in my garage  I still have to finish the exhaust (ceramic coating), and get a "real" paint job on it. i plan on keeping a semblance of the scheme on it now. | |||

Truthfully, the pod filters really kill the bottom end, and make jetting a nightmare. The CV carbs like the airbox for bottom end. But the pods look cool, lol Up top, it pulls really nice. I plan on yanking them off and putting on a set of flat slides from Sudco
