Another RVF thread!

144 or 148, and 152 as far as I recall, rebuilt the carbs about 6 years ago so can't be sure.
I have a HRC manual on file somewhere, I'll try and locate it.

Same angle but looks very different, yours looks cleaner but that's because I didn't use flash

Mine are cleaner because I just got done eating dinner off them! :D

Those are some big jets!

Yeah, the HRC manual states.........148 jets for #2 & #4, 152 jets for #1 & #3.

'real' HRC parts, yeeehaaa! this explains alot actually, I was convinced when I bought it that it was a race/track bike and it also had a full HRC system, it was missing loads of stuff for road spec too but I was drawn to this one for some strange reason, it looked rough but my zen led me right it seems...... right I'm off to check the CDI unit

PS. When I rebuilt the carbs I was sure I labelled everything in the correct order, but went along with what Mr Haynes said about longies on the front and shorties on the back, so hence it seems my trumpets are on the wrong cylinder banks, doh! How was I to know it had kit parts fitted? we live and learn and tomorrow I'll learn about over zealous I am with the threadlock on bolts that might fall into the carbs.

I'm back. Been busy lately, finally got a free day today to do some work. Little stuff. Test fitting the carbon stuff. Finished painting all the little things like brackets, horn, supports, kickstand, fuel cap, etc. Mounted rear signals, etc. Polished MORE bolts. Argh. Pics....................

(sorry, I have 2 digital cameras and this one is about to kick the bucket. Flash is broke or something, messes up the exposure.)

Looking ace Jeff, but making me feel guilty about not doing more to mine.

[CMSMJ1]

Agree with Carlos...he needs to do more

Looks great Jeff - do you have a target for getting it running or is this just as and when?

Also FYI. Initially I was going to have more of the parts powdercoated but to cut down on costs I opted to do all the rest of the re-finishing myself. I had used a DupliColor product on my Harley and was quite happy with it. I ended up using the DupliColor High Temp Ceramic Engine Enamel on everything. Very hard, durable finish compared to most rattle can sprays. I made sure to do everything the correct way also. Sanded most of the parts down to bare metal, used the prep wipes, DupliColor Primer/Sealer, then several coats of color, then DupliColor Clear Coat. You can actually put the parts in an oven to help cure the paint, but since I am in Florida, I put them out in the midday sun for 3-4 hours. Anyway, I am very pleased with the outcome and it was MUCH less expensive than PowderCoat, although it took MUCH more time and work. All totaled I spent about $90 on paint supplies. Purchased everything though Summit Racing online because I didn't want to make 20 trips to Discount Auto Parts just to find out they didn't have what I needed. Did the wheels in PowderCoat for obvious reasons, they have to be much more durable with tire changes and exposure. But I felt the other parts that are not exposed to wear and tear didn't need that kind of durability.

There is a trackday at the end of September that I am shooting for as a "shake down" date.

Side Note: Taking a road trip this weekend to pick up the bodywork which is being completed today!!!!

Looking good, can't wait to see the finished article
