    Three years in storage - resurrection procedure?

Good luck, my 85 set for 9 years before I found her. chances are the carbs will require rebuilding, the tank cleaned...

    Has anyone ever tried custom sheetmetal manifolf w/4bb carb?

    I'm really not having much luck lately..

    Intermittent problems are the hardest to locate. What I try to do is place a couple of DMM's that have a min and max voltage latch. what this does is when the failure happens the meter will lock at the minimum voltage seen at what ever point of the circuit it's attached to.

    My First Ride

    Excellent thoughts on the brakes especially on the front end swap! This bike is like my 69 Road Runner. 440, 4 speed, 6 pack. Going around corners and stopping this side of Ga were an afterthought when I was 20. 30 years later I kind of like to stop with out constantly looking for a way out when...
