Default my first rigid build

Here are a few pics of my first Evo rigid. There are a couple different views. Before and after a 80 year old lady hit me doing a left turn. See if you can finger out which is which.
The motor was an 85 Evo 1340 police motor right from the factory.
4 speed tranny with suicide setup. PM brakes, SU eliminator carb (best carb ever for an evo!!!!)

Default RE: my first rigid build

Looking good man....................SU'sare my favorite carb by far.A little tricky to dial in but once you got it they will perform as good or better than anything out there.I'm running one on my '90 XL1200.It took mea long time to figure out how to get an SU on an early Evo Sportster with right side petcock.Rivera has hada prototype manifoldfor a long timenow but wouldn't make me one......I had to get creative........Anyway your bike is looking great
