While I was thinking that this install would be a piece of cake, it did turn out problematic in more than a couple of areas…
Paul was a really good sport though. And is sending great reports in the last few days, though I need to get with him just to check out things on the bike. In the end though, this is one of the best looking bikes I have built to date…
Shameless plug
The Kit
The bike. Not the upward swing of the lower tube
That upswing gets me in a bit…
There it is. The carb isn’t gonna work there.
So we ordered an offset intake tube from BikeBerry
Hard to see in this image, but the chain is binding on the clutch cover
Here you can see where I filed a little to get the clearance I need.
The clearance issue is a bit easier to see here.
The finished product…a really sweet ride.
Another shameless plug.
The offset intake tube, only $6 delivered free.
Kept 7 speeds working, but the shifter reads upside down now!
Both brakes on the throttle side…I love this configuration, personally.
Beautiful, huh?
Another Happy Camper 😀
