Motor Running

I finally bench tested the West Bend. I had to take the palmini header off and put the muffler on. I want to keep the neighbors happy.

Very kool! I wanna see a vid with the Palmini exhaust on it, tho...:wink:

 

[Jack's]

I will. I just wanted to get the carburetors dialed in first. It's interesting a dual carb run smoother than a single:thumbsup:

wow thats quiet! my reed box like that is pretty loud, its carved out a little though.

 

[Jack's]

Markus,

Yes, my three port is louder on the Caper? This five port lumps along like a V twin?? I will run it with the Palmini header.

Thanks

Welding done

I got the base plate and the foot pegs welded. A little more clean up and I'll get some color on it.:thumbsup:

Frijole Done

I just got the frame back, everything went back together fine. The band break grabs like a rock.
