Had 101 carb problems with her and she currently wee's fuel.
Still, she's mine.

Custom Tank, bobbed fender, Victory motorcycle tail light, twin buckets done by me and a tendency to dribble petrol like an old weebag cat.

Once she stops costing me money tinkering with her carbs i'll black out the forks, buckets and leave her silk black with bits of chrome.

Looking good, might I suggest different mirrors and front blinkie relocation.


It's not speeding till you get pulled over.

Have a look at the float needles and that needle seat...might be a bit of junk in there keeping the floats from shutting off the fuel. It's also important that the tiny bail be situated correctly capturing the float tang. Or, the floats might be set too for too high a bowl fuel level. Either can cause overflow.
