Ok, Matt finally got his bike back together (waited long time for freak, not brent's fault though!)
We got the custom throttle cable dialed in prefectly now and the Amals are still leaking a tad on the one side. We replaced ALL the gas hoses, they were all too big of an ID actually, and they all leaked a lot. We put on some clear 1/4" stuff so we could see the gas flow too.
Anyway, Matt took it down the road a bit and it is running too rich so we need to get some smaller mains for it. I took it out for a quick spin and holy cow, she is a lot stronger than mine, darn it! The carbs seem to be just the right size and once we get them jetted in correctly, they will be very sweet indeed. The freak fit just fine with a slight bolt modification, the one filter was too close and rubbing so we replaced the large allen head bolt with a regular hex flatside bolt and this gave us the needed 1/4" of room.
He's bringing the bike down to Ga, so y'all can see it and oogle over it there.
C ya in a few.
Oh yea, Jaymo54's big bore (#4 for me) is also done now and just needs putting the misc covers back on and setting up the carbs a little more too.
By the way, did you know that these bikes will only idle if you forget to put the carb needles in when you reassemble the carbs? They tend to backfire and stall at anything more than idle then. I took them out to drill the carb slides, then as I showed mike the correct placement of the little nylon footsies and such, I proceeded to put them back together leaving the needles on the bench. Doh, DumbButt mistake, cost me three hours work.
