It's gonna feel good to be on new rubber. That one reminds me of some of the tires I had on my old '63 Impala during college days. I pulled into a service station once (yup, one of those full service varieties) and the guy told me he could see the air through em.

breaze,....made me laugh...what we used to call, Running Maypops

So you're gonna keep using the oil pump - will you need to supplement with a little oil added to the tank (because of larger carb and more fuel flow)?

Sorry to be a bonehead, but where do you intend to "install" the new nipple?

I'll be looking forward to hearing your assessment of the improved performance.

Saw your other post -

That answers my question - so you have some nipple hole drilling on the agenda - bet I can hear the screams all the way down here in Atlanta.

Hurry up, Thursday is supposed to be mid-seventies and sunny.

Can't wait to see the results mike. We had nice weather in the 70's here, unfortunately I won't be riding in it.

The whole thing is first class motormike as are your build photos

If I may for information sake:
The Du-Bro pressure fittings are english thread. You can drill/tap for 6-32, 8-32 or 10-32 depending upon which size is purchased. For a vac tap, all sizes would work, but larger than 6-32 is more robust. Drill size and taps for the pressure fitting is in the 'wiki at http://hondaspree.net/wiki/index.php5?t ... acuum_Taps

Hmm...[O K]

Looks great Mike, now slap it on the bike!
