Howdy all. Well, this week everything came together rather well -
Today I received my white tires - the Halo Twin Rails in 24 x 2.2. I also picked up a pair of Summit puncture resistant tubes - and a pair of heavy duty rim liners.
Since I have chrome fenders on the Whizzer now, I opted to go with black - so I have a black rear fender from Whizzer and a black shorty front fender I purchased at a bike shop locally.
I also finished the work on the manifold. I cut it in half - I drilled it appropriately - I polished the tapered hole to a mirror and glass smooth finish - I have the 26mm carb on which is working great!
I got in the new K&N filter for the 26mm - I was using the one for the 22mm on her - but it doesn't have the surface area I wanted. To tell you the truth, the stock NE5 22mm filter is purty - she is tapered and looks very nice. The new larger one is not tapered and is not as aesthetically pleasing.
I have my new fuel line and fuel filter, I also got the spring coil for around the fuel line. And at Bill G's suggestion, I found a spring coil for around the breather tube since he noticed it kinking up in my photos.
So this weekend it comes all together - cross my fingers and knock on wood it will go smoothly!
Funny, none of this stuff seems like "work" at all - it's too much fun!
Regards,
Matthew
