Default Finally gonna do it!

I am finally going through the top end on my 86 eg! Localy Indy doing the work for me couldnt beat the price plus dont have anywhere to do it myself anymore. Going with 9.5 to 1 ross pistons .005, andrews lifters, ev27 cam, adjustable pushrods, rebuilding my cv carb, doing 5 angle valve job new springs etc. Cant wait to get her back and break it in! Haha this all started cause needed to get base gaskets replaced. Figured I want it, might as well do it while we are here! Should be done next week some time!

Default Turn out

well, went by today, bike sounds great! only problem is the throttle cab les, When I bought it it already had a cv carb on it. The cables are screweddd. Frayed at the carb , and kinked in between under the tank. He orderd two diff sets werent right for the bike being a 86 with cv. Hopefully has some coming in today will be right. Other than that, Bike is ready to go!
