Man, you really do nice clean work. That thing will look awesome in your living room!

What do you use to paint the calipers?

You're going to replace that cracked Neutral switch cover right?

And replaced...

[brrrappp]

Good job! I was afraid that your bike would need a Harley Davidson drip pan under it while on display.
So far from the pictures, it looks better than the bikes on the dealer showroom. I would probably take the bike to shows on a trailer and never really ride it.

Itll be a rider like the rest of my bikes, I don't believe in garage queens....

Terrific work Paul. The bike looks amazing.

Getting there John, The Painter is holding me up, Hes slammed!!

Hmmm, Decision time, What to do, Has anyone any idea which I should go with, The barrels are pretty heavily ported, Squish is at .9mm, Vforce reeds, Tyga pipes,
PWK28 carbs, baseline jetting @ 155 main, 42 pilot, N86 needle in the middle, 1.5 turns out.
Lectron 34mm carbs that were beasts on my old YPVS that was ported heavily, 1mm squish, Vforce reeds and Toomey pipes.......

PWKs are easy to work on, probably a lot better bottom end.
Lectrons had shitty low end but nutty top end, Not great for scooting around town...

What to do..........

[Whymee]

I vote for street-ability, although my vote does not count...

[nokturnal]

the PWK will fit the airbox... the lectrons look like a $10 whore from the back.

[tacky1]

All votes count, $10 whore

No airbox, Ill be running either with UNI pods....
I might start it off on the PWKs and break it in and then try the 34s and see how it goes....

Hmmmmmm, Decisions, hate them

[Whymee]

Yes, but this decision can be rectified at a later date if need be!

[Bare]

PWKs ..they look to be are New (a big advantage in itself) and are V nice to ride... Zero bogging .
Fit the airbox it gives Mo' power. Unless a dedicated track only setup.
With the airbox.. try 40 airs 130 mains and JJH needles

[brrrappp]

I would guess the PWK is going to be the better choice. But I know what you are thinking with those Lectrons.......

I loved my Lectrons on My YPVS, Ill think ill start off with the PWKs and get some miles on it and then swap over to the lectrons and see how they run.
They are superb carbs easy to set up, Not great on the lower end though.......

[tacky1]

More Progress. Set the timing at 1.8mm, fitted the exhausts, Drilled and fitted the oil lines on the PWKs, Fitted them with UNI pods and K&N outerwares, Hide the red.. :P
Tightened up everything, fired some juice in the tank and 3 kicks and shes rattling away.. YEAHHHHHHH..... Happy, Bodywork is out being painted, Just got to drop it off last night though, Hopefully not too long.
