So what you are saying is flat bars, rear sets, nose fairing, agressive silencers and hot tires? Could do I suppose, it has a competition mag and the carbs are oversized with a hot cam already so the engine is supposed to be crazy powerful, just not sure what it has in the gearbox! Seems like it has a lot going for it.

You have to look at them for what you can make, not what they are already. Right?

Seems to me you could ride it around like that.. But may not hillclimb it.. But you do live in the right place to have a clmber.
TIP..if you have midpegs..very easy to get your butt off the seat for bumps cracks etc.. On a rigid.. That how i got from here to Shoshone. Idaho in 26 hrs.. You may get some lift with rearsets, but I sorta doubt it..

Twinstars are becoming quite hard to find around here.  Haven't seen any on Kijiji in months. 

Here's some more pics from the roadtrip!

Of course, this is one of the better ways of starting your day!





I saw a lot of these... here they come



And there they go!



Wheeeee



My hair looks great thank you very much!



Long way down...



Steep and twisty.... in some places there's even guardrails!



As per usual, I always pick the sunny week to travel!







Old crane, rusting away...



San Francisco pea souper up top!



A little clearer lower down!



Donner pass... For some reason I feel a little hungry thinking about this...





Yes, you've seen versions of this pic before...



Grand Prismatic Spring





Forest fire in the background.



Buffalo... showing off his opinion of gawking tourists...

I made a chain tensioner for the tracker bike from a old Triumph rear brake return spring and a skate board wheel.. I'll have to try it out before I waste time painting it....

Re-Jetting ? ? ?

I have been apprehensive . . .
. . . as it requires drilling the slide holes out larger . . .
What drill . . . with shavings . . . near or worse in my carburetor . . .

Sigma6 is AWESOME, I drilled the 2 holes in each slider . . .
. . . changed the jets . . . pilot and main . . . used the shim under the main needle.
slapped 'er all together . . .
went for a spin . . .

. . .

. . .

W 0 W

Just W 0 W

No more popping . . .
. . . TOTALY equal sounding on accel, and decel . . .

. . . POWER ? ? ?

Yea Baby . . . Lets Ride
