Thanks guys! I can't wait to see it with the new pipe and all the bodywork installed.

I got the rear fender eliminator done today too, but no pic because I forgot to put the SD card back in my camera. Watch this space for some pics once she's totally done.

looks good tyler!

i let stupid help me install my head once and he turned the engine over while the cams were outta time and bent one of my intake valves .

i made a note to my self to keep stupid outta the shop when i was working on my bikes .

just sayin .

Hahahahaha yeah for sure. I'm keeping stupid out of the garage when I get my new pilot screw.

Wow! The bike looks great in blue, but then you should know that I am partial to that color.

Tell your brother-in-law that if I see another dusty Cobra picture, I'm coming up with a trailer to save that poor car. Heck, I'm about 1800 miles closer than normal right now. I bet I could find a trailer for rent in Connecticut.

Looks like you got a new seat too. Much better finish all the way around.

Haha, yeah it sucks but he's had a busy year. The car isn't yet done either, and I've got no time this summer either so I despair of its chances to get on the road.

I'll get lots more pics once the paint is all the way done and I get the new muffler on. Gonna be a couple weeks before the pipe makes it here so be patient. I may snap some next weekend without it, I'm only off every second weekend now.

The seat was made by P&P Seating in Birmingham, UK. Its a direct fit on the bike, looks excellent, great workmanship. Took two months form order to my door though, but they had to make it from scratch, they dont stock them.

I was out for a run tonight, the pilot screw finally came so I stuck it in and went for a spin. The jetting is pretty good now, I'll probably go down a half step on my needles and put in a larger main jet, but she's running well enough now. I was in a cloud of smoke idling at first but thats gone after a 2-3km run with lot of rolling on and off the throttle.

New muffler shipped out of Italy today, so hopefully I'll get it soon. I'll wait to do my carb setting changes until thats on.

its good to hear that is going well. keep me posted on the performance of those carbs.
