Looking really great Steve. Is it a recent restoration, or have you had the bike for a while? My 76 900SS resto got on the road in May but I've had to strip down the top end/ barrels now as it was smoking from the rear pot. Hope to be back with the living soon after my summer vacation!
Cheers
Geoff

Had it for a while, 5 years, started the restoration 2 years ago, it was finished about a year ago but then the problems started, the rings didnt seat, it ran fine dureing the run in then turned into a smoker. My belief is that the inside of the fiberglass tank began to disolve, that resin caused my carbs to stick open, and it glazed the cylnders. I didnt realize this at the time, it was only after I did the top end again that I notice the baked on resin coating everything, valves, rings, etc..

Still working on that little problem, but we dont own them because we are sensible.
