    Yesterday was it's maiden voyage and well it didn't come without it's fair share of little hicup's that can all be traced back to the builder. Not 30 yards out of the pit's the bolt for the front sprocket came out and the sprocket embedded itself into the TM Designs chain slider. Found the bolt and washer and after a little prying, got the chain back on, then I chased carb isuues all day and finally got it running repectable, but I'm still not convinced it's not ignition related, because it will clear up and then sputter in the mid to top end. Next was a constant chain loosening. I tightended down the pinch bolts on the Westcoast, but it seemed to continually work itself loose. Then my homemade radiator shroud bracket cut the top radiator hose and ended the day.

    I'd like to thank my boy, yeagerb, for the assistance yesterday. He was the best crew chief/pitman a guy could ask for. I felt bad because we wrenched on my bike for about 3/4 of the day andhe didn't get much riding time in.

    Now it's dirty and I couldn't be happier to have ridden it instead of it living the rest of it's life in a garage. Now I can concentrate on riding it instead of scratching it.

    Here it is getting ready to go home for the night.
    Anytime bro! It was a great day and I think that beast is ready for raw meat in Sikeston.

    very cool to hear that man! You have been wrenching on this bike for too long to not be able to enjoy it finally. And for a first ride out it sounds like you had better luck than I have had on both my 310 and 500's maiden voyages lol talk about spending 99% of the day in the pits hahah. Glad it ran, sounds like you got a good lead on the sputtering issues too. Keep us posted, and go scrub the dirt off her hahaah

    Been a while since I've updated this. I added some blue27 ufo numbers and number plate decals with ufo style numbers. Big shout out to Bruce. He does amazing work.

    Do the front UFO plate numbers attached with an adhesive or another method?
