Project bike finally running
|
|
Cold start throttle squirts have the same bog, well for me anyway. So I wouldn't be concerned with it unless the bike was already at running temperature.
Seems eager to go... |

Still ice cold I have yet to run her for more than a minute as I really wanna change the oil before giving her the beans (has about a half bottle of Kroil washed down into the crankcase) Today's goal was just checking the carb for leaks and to make sure the battery is getting charged while running (14.4v, so it's good). Plan on ripping out all the old burnt wiring and tidying up a few things for a short road test if I have time tomorrow. |
Fantastic!!
Get a chain on there man. That bike needs a test drive! |
Wow! what a change. Nice job! :tup:

That paint was the EXACT right color choice! =) Looks incredible!

Thanks I went with Black and Tan to match my Land Cruiser as I'll be hauling it out back https://youtu.be/opYuJFyu7j0 |
Replacing the speedo with one that has a gear indicator
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxquV5BMzf0 Need to swap the 3rd and 5th wires and add a jumper to the Neutral light |
I like that custom spoke lacing on the rear wheel. It looks like the rims are bespoke for that lacing pattern. It is another unique part of that piece of working art from Cleveland.
It could be kind of rare. I don't know how many they sold, but hand built customs like this are not made in high production numbers! ;) |
AWESOME PROJECT! Great job!
|
Thanks
Looking for a little more symmetry, so I added a matching twist grip on the left side for the choke. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9emd3AuwSJE Now on the hunt for a small headlight master switch that somewhat matches the kill switch |
That's pretty slick. :tup:
|
you did a awesome job and should be quite proud of it, my favorite style for a street bike and you nailed it !!!
Have fun with her, you earned it !! creek |
Been on the hunt for a low profile brake light and ended up with this little LED

Set valve lash and replaced float in the carb earlier today
Wanted to take her for a spin, but it started raining https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O05WF_No5Z4 Still need to finish up all the wiring for the lights and stuff (waiting on another set of turn signals) |

Definitely one of the coolest project bikes on this site. This kind of stuff just put this silly grin on my face. :D
