Anytime bro! It was a great day and I think that beast is ready for raw meat in Sikeston.Mike I can't thank you enough. You were a very big part in it getting to where it is today. I'd also like to thank everyone who helped out with advise or sold me great parts for the build.
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.
