Good stuff Man!

That'll make a completely different scoot out of it!

Be sure to find a competent tuner and have it PROPERLY tuned with a SERT/SEST/TTS...

I agree bagging and tagging is the only way to go. I think the military sunk that one deep into my brain. Again, nice thread and project.

Default Its alive!!!

Well im happy to report that after toping off all the fluids, hooking up the battery, and crossing my fingers… it fired right up and runs like a champ. No abnormal noises or leaks. From what I could tell, “riding it up and down the driveway” it pulls a lot harder then the 88 did. Now if the weather would cooperate.

I wish I could take the credit for the nice shop but it belongs to a good friend of mine. It was defiantly helpful to have a lift. Not to mention all the space and access to every tool known to man. And the knowledge of my buddy, who is the service manager at a bike shop didn’t hurt either. I had lots of questions.

Thanks for all the encouraging comments.
Chris

Sorry about the crappy video. Shot it with my cell phone. The ticking noise is the speaker on the phone.
Not the bike…
