    Ty, ty. Scrapped the head on the first ride out before I tore it down for paint, So I dunno. I have an old head missing some fins I may put on it at least until I ride it awhile and make sure it doesn't ruin a new one. Pretty disappointing on power on the maiden voyage. I need StorminNorman to donate me something good.

    looking mighty sexy! they are def tail draggers and take a good chunk of loot to get them up to snuff. lol if you keep an open eye out here in a few months you may be able to pick this bv motor for a decent price.

    Yea not sure, journals were trashed on first ride out, prolly got trash in there. Probably going to find a good stock head, have some new stainless valves cut in and call it done. KB has the slightly above stock sized one's, but don't know what i'll do.

    You wanna get rid of it? Gotta watch oversizing. Even the kb take a good bit of sinking to get clearance

    A littttle progress. Excuse the ridiculously messy shop.



    I was thinking overall it had to much black, but I think by the time I put the plastic on, it will look perfect.
