Look for those badges dude!
So I checked the valve adjustment... wholly crap! I could have put my fist between the adjuster and the valve stem. Now it actually sounds like a motorcycle engine instead of a shaken box of pennies. I also tweeked the timing a bit more.
Unfortunately I didn't get back the low end power I was expecting. It is kindof a dog off the line. I really have to give it the throttle in order to start off. There are a few things I think I still need to check, carbs, plugs, etc.
Other than that minor tune-up issue it's a real nice ride. My wife has aptly named this bike "casper" (did I mention she's nutty).
Cheers,
Dan
