I have a few updated pics of the bikes. I replaced the leaky oil pan gasket along with the 3 rubber o-rings in the pan. Installed a pingle hi flow petcock, got the green 3ohm dyna coils on. Now im waiting on a chain for it. I just have to button up a few things and she will be good to go.

And finally. The only other thing i need to get is a t line splitter, because i installed 26mm carbs off of a kz 1000 and there are 2 fuel lines coming off the carbs, and my pingel only has one fuel nipple. Im going to leave the paint for now and ride it as is. Then this winter it will get new paint.
