I could balance without moving, do simple roll-backs and turn with the forks against the stop but It had no brakes (even with all new parts). This afternoon I fixed the fork leak and ground a ton of rust from the front brake drum liner which seemed to be a big improvement. It's got tons of compression, starts first kick, runs cool and the plug reads perfect. It pinged once when I almost stalled setting the slide stop and doesn't smoke. It seems perfect. I need help more help than the bike does at this point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powder coated frame after foot peg lowering, new HFS fork internals, new rear shocks, CRIB fork brace and mudguard bridge, Barnetts clutch plates and OKO card jetted to suit the gripper. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
