Welcome! When do you expect to get it? Color?

Did it come with the 115 main/30 pilot or did you have to purchase them separately?

Fourth notch from top or botom?

You will need to buy new jets, usually they come with a 100 main and 20 pilot, at least the VM26 I ordered did

The seller just got back to me, 100 main and 20 pilot is what it ships with.

Yep, a 100/20 is also what mine came with. Fourth notch down from the top, is where I have mine. It lifts the needle out of the main jet just a tad more set that way.

i love the 40 pilot and 115 main, i never need choke, and can sit on the couch and hit the starter, she is warmed up before i get my helmet on ... it is rich, but no smoke (as far as i can see when on the bike) it does leave a little soot on the plate holder, but i still have the stock filter and pipe ... so i will leave it a bit rich for now, and expect it to be correct when i change those two things for better breathing ... and it is getting a little better on top end as i ride more, 55 is not wot any more and i have taken it on a 60 mile highway trip with no troubles ... i am still going to change the pipe, and with any luck i will find a better filter to fit the factory spot, then i think i will be able to drop to a 43 rear sprocket (from 45), as it will hit 7k rpms in 5th as it sits right now

ok, so i told a few people i would put these pics up quite some time ago, sorry for the delay, but with work, family and the garden i just have not had a lot of time ... anyway here is the new trunk i got off ebay for $21 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/390845145367...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT) ... time to put on my hatchetman decals too ... hehe

Well you did it barlow. That was too good a deal to pass up. Just bought it. It looks proportional for the bike .

simonjester · 05-13-2016, 10:13 PM

It does look good on the bike. Would it fit a helmet?

dpl096 · 05-13-2016, 11:09 PM

Looks good Barlow!
