77 crusty shovel home

Thanks I really like that idea and we'll be using it on mine. When I changed over my ignition to a screaming eagle module and new standard Motor products pick up in the nose cone I wired in a Deutsch connector harness for it. Late 90s, works awesome. Plug and play now.... I even wired in the voes switch to a manual toggle switch on the dash so if I'm cruising long cruises I can just advance my timing...

in my place we do everything the same what we do for someone we do for us and see it as the next job at hand
then everything you do has a workman like manner about it and with the same goal in mind

on a good note the ole shovel got to go down the road today. Fired rite up....got a little wet riding in rain. But set my goal of 1-2 weeks..... Video of it running but don’t know about posting that stuff. Thanks again John for catching the flaws and advise.......shamed me into wiring natural safety light and high beam indicator.....lol. But signal lights went away.
Broke one of my rules...I don’t like fuel filter on these....but tanks took a lot of cleaning . Damn had to spend money for a fuel shut off I thought I had.

Normal don’t care for trinkets ....but this one was bought for another bike and it wouldnt fit with his ignition. So he left it here.
took .350 or .375 off the back on the mill.....now it has a home till I don’t like it or it overheats ignition.....

No wonder they don’t run rite. Front one is 17-18 inches longer than rear one.....at idle sounds ok but not shovel like. Got some cuttin to do .....65 years old still like to **** off the neighbors ( not really I am now the ole guy in the hood they just laugh)

Shovels like drags to be 1-3/4" not 2" and between 42" to 46" long just to run civilly, you want it right you have to do a set of lollipops in the back for a bit of back pressure or you'll always have a flat spot somewhere in the good RPM range. Those long *** necked up drags are cute on an evo or twinkie but they are death to a shovel.
