took a few min to hook up a fuel tank, its the stock coolant resivour.

Its only running on the front cyl in this vid, cause the rear cyl isnt getting fuel. I did have it running on both, just not in the vid. BOY IS IT MEAN

A pair of big noisy carbs with no airbox and no muffler on the exhaust.. of course it will sound mean. I have always liked the sound of big sport twins.

How goes the fibre fabrication? (tail piece and tank)

Edit: even with as loud as it is, you can still hear the distinctive VTR chirping in your vids. :P love it!

It needs some work, but there's potential. Sounds like an ol B&S lawn mower with a ratted out exhaust at the moment. Add to it a nice whirring sound and you've got something sick.

Ha, sounds just like my Hawk GT (well a Bros here) over the winter when the front coil got a bit too damp!

When I first saw the shot of the fork brace with the pink foam behind the forks I thought you were setting up to make a pattern for a new fairing. Then in the next shot I noticed the front end and foam are laying against the wall

Wow! That's pretty cool, building the oil cooler bracket onto a steering damper, but what's the point?

I'm running the same cooler. Given your mounting position you may not need to mod it but I had to have the left side inlet cut and rotated 45 deg (kept it inthe stock position, however)

Done list

mounted new larger oil cooler, plumbed it in

built a gp shift lever, fully adjustable

removed front faring mounts from frame, cleaned up and painted

removed casting and forging marks from both triples, and painted

painted steering damper and mount

began 3 piece front fender, I need to finish my fork brace before I can finish it though.

been running the bike some more. Front cyl has a fuel issue im working on.

working a few bugs out of my wiring harness, like the starter button not working

still need to buy a battery, air filter, and fuel cap and I can build the gastank then tail

camera doesnt pick up the deep tones that sound great
