well, i have picked up where i left off. did some trading with james aka sicivicdude for a good bottom end that he threw together for me. got it and didn't have tools to switch stators so he was nice enough to send me his tools through the mail. got everything switched out that i needed and now i have half my topend back together. almost ready to finish this thing "AGAIN!". phewww....
tested out a new look today for sh*ts and giggles. what do you guys think?
before:
after:
i was dead set on running these goldies, but now i dunno. i think they will look a lot better when i get my +4 or +6 swingarm and a 400ex or 450r rear shock.
yeah, the goldies look great with the blue to me, but black looks sick with it too. i'm torn now, but i'll bet the gold will look great when the bike is extended out like i planned.
finally got this thing busted off. boggy as heck and the carb is jetted rich on 40:1 mix causing the revs to hang a bit. i need to order some jets for it and then i'm gonna switch back to 32:1 after the break in is done. only reason i used 40:1 is because that's all the store had and i figured it'd be alright with only a gallon of gas.
i'm working on posting some videos of it right now...will get them up soon.
finally got this thing about where it needs to be atm. still may be a tad bit rich and that may be why i have some hesitation, but this bastard surprises me. i'm proud of it i have to say. made a video of a few launches and the rediculous amount of time it takes to empty the carb bowl.
also, may have to rethink this exhaust setup. i wish it had more bottom end, but she does pull like hell in the upper rpms.
