It's looking really good.
You think you'll ride it?

Lol been riding it, but I have to wait for the insurance to start on the 1st, and then I have to get a new plate even though it's registered on that frame already. The bike is far from perfect. On bikes I sell I use all brand new hardware, everything is perfectly polished, and they look better than showroom condition. Although this looks nice, it is nowhere near that kind of build. I built it specifically for me, and I ride my bikes daily year round, so it's what i'd call built to riding condition. http://www.kinesismoto.com/350fbuild/ that's typically the fit and finish I go for.

Wow, that's neat.
But how do you cope with muddy potholes, when riding it in the pouring rain?

Today is wideband 02 sensor day. I know it's a single, and tuning is easy, but I hate carbs, and hate guessing, so this'll make it cake to tune.

No no, not doing efi.... on this motor anyway ;) This is also a research project for future singles, if and when i get my hands on a 350 or 450 to build a monster out of. In the mean time, getting ideal afr's will now be cake for future work on this motor.
