I am thinking of inserting a gel seat from wal-fart in my seat. They sell an EVO gel seat cover for $15..........

Attempted to sync my carbs with a homemade "coke bottle" synchronizer. Notice i said "attempted" because all it wanted to do was suck the bottles flat. Back to the drawing board.

Played the carburetor synchronization game today. :eusa_dance:

I got it set up. I had a couple V-Max's before, and I remembered how easy the access is to sync the carbs. I wish all bikes were this easy.

It was beautiful out Yesterday so I done some cleaning on the other 85 & bled clutch & brakes & then Pulled the carbs off Christine's 85 & gave them a good cleaning. I just need to go out & sync them now but its cold & my back is killing me so im not working today. I will sync them & change the fork seals tomorrow.

-Mod-ed the goofy bottom intake tubes of the airbox to try and get them to seal better.

- Installed this little digital volt meter wired to the blue ignition switch wire and mounting bolt for a ground so it turns on and off with the key. Just a little cheepie thing but works great so far. (ignore the wire, that's just my charging cord for the handlebar phone mount I have rigged there on the left, the wiring for the volt meter is all hidden behind the the wires for the speedo)

...Oh yeah and also had my carb slide covers chromed so got to put those on. Shiny!

Waterless bike cleaner? Like One hour Moto-Martinizing?

Put on some chrome flame decals today. Sure, not everybody likes flames, but I do. :biglaugh:

The front fender might be a little much. Those might not last long.

 

[DMAN999]

I like the flames on the scoops.
Where did you get those decals ?

They come in a variety of colors, you need to specify.
They are not easy to apply straight. I misaligned mine a little.

I was at work when the carbs come back in from Danny. I got them onlast night, and sync'd everything today.

Here is a video after the sync.

Ive been out and about on the bike. VERY SMOOTH. I haven't hooked up the A/F meter yet, and I haven't really gotten on it, due to the sand on the roads, but as soon as it clears up.....I will definitely get that Data.

I'm gonna try and get the bike dyno'd next weekend.
