Nice looking bike! I'm a little envious 'cause I've got so far to go on my 900. Looks like we almost have the same stable.

Thank you. After I ride in a little while, I still want to take it down to the frame and paint. How far long with your ltd?

tybolt,
What size main jets are you running in the carbs with those pod filters on the gasoline we have now with 10% ethanol? I am considering getting some to replace the old, dry, and much smaller cone-shaped filters I have now. I am way down at 107.5 mains with mine, I believe they are pretty restrictive. My plugs are still close to black even with the small jet. Thanks!

Be honest,I don't know what size jets are in the carbs. When I got the bike, had velocity stacks on the carbs and no baffle in the pipe. It was wide open. I put kerker 1.5" comp baffle and K&N pods hoping I don't have to change jets. Runs good as is now so I will not going to know about jet for a while.

Got a long ways to go. I'm almost ready to paint the tank and body parts, got the money for the decals and paint finally. Right now I'm putting together the rear...replaced the swingarm bushings with needle bearings. Once I get that done I'm going to clean up the front suspension (new seals and dust covers plus buffing. Then I get to start on rings and a valve job. I'm probably looking at next summer to be done. That's why I'm glad the 750's around. Have fun on your's.
