Nice work BP.  [thumbsup]

I put her back together late yesterday. Bolting the carbs back on  >:( grrrrrrrrrrrr  The spacer between the cylinder and the carbs has changed shape over time, and it caused the bolts to line up just a lil off.

put fresh oil in her just a lil bit ago..... and she fired right up.

the bbq paint.... smoked like a mofo as it warmed up. After letting her cool down, it stopped smoking after restarting it.

I think I'll try tackling a valve adjustment next.  ;D

Are you going to start distributing these? I see a market, I call dibs on the copyright.

hehe. i have read about that problem. mine has the magic button though i wouldn't mind having a kick for when i drain the battery in winter. :-\

there are quite a few threads on advrider about methodology for kicking the big singles over.

also be careful that you don't break your leg or get launched off the bike

I've seen some pretty serious carnage over on ThumperTalk from big singles kicking back.  You need like a steel gauntlet for you leg to kick one over without risk of serious injury ~
