I have a different set of pipes coming. I can't run these pipes. Can't seem to tune the carb right. I have tourqe cones but still not enough back pressure. I'm cutting the old long shotguns up for test ride. Then going to get a set of mid frame shot guns made

Just various level of sand paper. Not the best job but gets it looking dull and sort of vintage

Steel wool, sandpaper, what did you use?

As simple as that, yet I never would have thought of it...

Thanks. I like that look too.

Seat bracket came in today. Also jamming some baffles in the pipes to see i can get these short pipes to work..

Hope for a test ride today

Will be swapping to a 40 spoke rear rim 16x3 soon


Looking for a floorboard foot clutch option right now. Also got a rear chain drive from a cool dude on the foruns, so i can get rid of the belt drive
