Think surface area Chuck. Lock-up can kill you. I can lock drum brakes but don't prefer having to go that far. I respect your opinion however.
I don't use the brakes much on the street, even in the California canyons. I don't see much reason for upgrading the brakes for the way I ride. The front end could use some help, though. I'm thinking out loud here, but maybe Gixxer.. (there are tons of those available, cheap) ;) if I *really* like this bike after getting the engine sorted. Probably not, though. I have other irons in the fire.
How are you going to seal up your air intake ports? I use those same type zerk fittings but got metric ones to fit the ports in the stock manifold.Thanks for the info on the MIG. I am still trying to decide if I want to buy a MIG or TIG. I guess I doubt my ability to TIG weld well since it has been so long since I did it. I know my arc skills have deteriorated a lot and I was never good with a torch.
I dunno. I suppose that some of those rubber thingies (technical term) will fit the zerk fittings. MIG is easier than TIG, but not as versatile, IMHO. I can still handle a torch, and more importantly.. see the puddle. ;)
So Chuck what are you going to use to seal off the carb balancing fittings?Ciao
I am assuming Chuck that that heatpump up in the ceiling does your house as well and not just the garage!!! :oEnjoying the thread. ;-T
You could try hooking them together with a bit of fuel hose to act as a balancer.
I love it when a plan comes together. ;D Basically waiting for Scott to get back from racin so he can weld the exhaust, and for the air cleaners to come in the mail. I suppose I should be asking what oil to put in it for initial startup and break in? ~; ;D
I had that on Rosie and the Centauro. Since changing to simple plugs on Rosie I can't tell any difference. I realize we're talking F.I. vs. carbs. What's the theoretical advantage with carbs?
Any chance of a video of the first start up?
It looks like you're very close to finishing this. Fantastic work I think, and I'm really envious of your skills! :-)Any chance of a video of the first start up?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I'll be there... First ride video too? :D ;)
Cool!! :-)Who's gonna hold the beer though?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
