I see better now on the computer.
Looking at the picture on my phone it looked like the pressure pump and some sort of intake was connected together.

It's my new system, instead of gas I burn antifreeze, engine runs a lot cooler , no carbon build up. :smilie_happy: :smilie_happy:

I started to get the bike slowly together, I installed the gas tank and rear fender. If you notice the gas tank looks rough, it's because I sprayed it with rubberised rock guard which is tough and paintable so it will last a long time.

 

[joedrum]

hmmm that probably really slows comdensation rate big time ...so that was a good thing in your view now its done ?

I started to work on the bike again :Egyptian: , got the motor in the other day , got the front end installed with all new bearings and installed the gauges. I got my mufflers I ordered, they look nice, what do you think ? I was tired of having the bike on the lift, so I made some ( I guess you call them jigs ) to support the bike with wheels ( see pictures ) so that way I can move the bike around easily.

 

[dan filipi]

The engine and paint details look real nice.
The shorty mufflers look good too.

Nice jig, clever. :good:

Joe, did you think of using a lazy susan bearing to swivel the bike, maybe with something like this or better, you can build something. I tried to tip the bike, its very solid, dont forget, it's got good shocks :hihihi:

that might a little lite in strength but yes something like that :mrgreen:
