Just got to get the jetting all figured out, stick the plastics on and it will be DUNE TIME... in 2 more months lol Cant wait for the show and shine now... Quote

(well this was about a week ago, chain in hooked up now, new plugs, gas tank is on ect... ) Final pics of it 100% done will be coming the 22nd, at the colorado show and shine.. I did the heat cycles but didnt ride it anywhere yet, kinda muddy and i need two pinch bolts for the carrier I forgot yesterday. Did shift it in the garage and the tranny works though... Quote

Dinner Posted March 6, 2008 Report Posted March 6, 2008 Damn, shee is looking very very clean. I don't know why, but I really like the black frame, and then the hints of blue from your coolant plumbing and your pipe to silencer clamps :cool: Quote

bonbon Posted March 6, 2008 Report Posted March 6, 2008 (edited) Lookin badass man! It's always a good feeling when it fires up and you know you built it. Just last week I was hoping mine would fire after new carbs and intakes since it hadn't been run since october. 1 kick on new carbs, not bad! Had to play with the jetting a bit and now I'm trying to get the needle set right but it runs good. Oh and I hate you because you got to those pipes before me :verymad: :verymad: :verymad: :biggrin: Oh well they looked to good for me anyway, glad they got themselves a good shiny home! And whats up with that chevy in the background???? I thought you guys were all Mopar!?!? Edited March 6, 2008 by bonbon Quote
