My '85 is 1309, stone stock runner except for seat and I swapped carbs from another bike on (still have the originals). Needs 2nd gear fix as it pops at half throttle, 60k miles.

I finally got back to work on my 85 project, got the motor mounted up and a bunch of time spent over the holiday weekend assembling. Got the carbs tore down and cleaned up: were froze solid. Feels real good to see progress being made.. Now that I am back to work on this bike I will post up on progress made and I can see I also need to go through this thread and update the list ! Thanks to all who have posted up

Hey Bacchus, good to hear you are re-igniting the fire so to speak. You can bet we are all anxious to to see the write up on the rebuild. You can't have too many pic either! I need to light a fire under my arse and get pictures posted too. Where's the matches? Just picked up a NOS side cover last week! It is as nice as advertised! $50.00 bucks which is cheap in my book.
