Ted, What main and pilot jets did you settle on?
What muffs do you have on the pipes… Sounds GREAT!
I have a similar set up and would love to get it sounding like yours.
Best regards,
Dave
Thanks, but it isn’t mine. It does sound pretty sick though.
Its my bike. Motor was bought from someone who had wrecked the bike, the doner came off a bike that was cafed and it runs to well not to have been modified. Prob has been re-jetted, I ran stock head pipes cut at 35″ and necked up to 2″. Frame came from Wise Guys Choppers with a 4″ stretch to the hardtail, 2″ stretch to the backbone and 36 deg rake with a 2″ overstock DNA springer. This is my first real build and Im happy with the way the bikes turning out, no way in hell I could have built this without the online help of the guys on The Chopper Underground, thanks guys!!! Now Im hooked.
Thanks for sending in the pics update metalho.
Hey thanks Ted. Have her all taken apart for final finishing and painting. Will send a pic after shooting some color.
metalho sounds cool. We should definitely do a e-mail interview if you’re down.
Absolutely, if you care to put up with my bull Im willing to spoon it out, LOL. Just give me a time and we can do er up, not a problem. Im usually off work around bankers hours so just e-mail me. Thanks Ted.
Bike is on its way to being completed. Final top coats of black are being shot this weekend and so far the painting has gone well. Was fortunate enough to win the TCU 2009 BBO with this little bike and a big thanks to everyone on the site for there help, and Joe Wise Guys for setting me up with the killer frame.
If you don’t mind me asking, what did it cost you for the work on the frame?
What kind of mufflers are those and what was your jetting ? Bike sound great . I’m working on a 1980 Special right now .
