WOW Looks fantastic, Sounds Awesome ! Really nice build. !

Very nice, Ash.
Less clutch rattle than your last video. New rubbers? Carb synch? Different camera? haha.

Thanks guys. I took Dave Mcmunn’s advice and checked the ignition timing , it was very slightly off but adjusting that made a difference. Clutch is all good and engaging and disengaging hardly makes any difference in rattle. A short ride in town was damn awesome. Engine has such good power . Feels strong everywhere. Thanks to J R for providing the trick on how to manage airflow by adding a plug between kn filter and carb box. It was way too lean without it.
I will be riding it quite often then other two I have in the stable .

Cheers

Do you have 2 different sets of bodywork?

I do :). Takes 5 minute to swap

Ashish, I have totally enjoyed your journey, especially that you got to the end. Great job, great bike!

I do have one question though: What the heck are you going to do with all your money and time now?

Nils. Thanks bro .
Good question , I guess I will follow the footsteps other have walked :).

Enjoy yourself for a spell. I’m also in the stretch of my current project where 95% of the money is already spent, but the big pleasure of the build and the tweaking are still to come. Great fun.

N.

I am closely watching that :) keep it coming. Your attention to detail are awesome.

That is kind of a shocking result to me given that you have a Tuono in the stable. I like referring to a V4 Tuono as "The bike I would have bought if I wasn't an idiot."

Anyhow, if you're taking suggestions - I think that the custom bike deserves EFI. Am I saying that in the hopes that I can get someone else in on my project and split costs on custom fabrication?

How dare you!

Tuono is an animal .
I do occasional track days and go backroads when I have insanity etching my skull.
There is something about the streetfighter. It fills the gap between twin shock and Tuono.

I am all ears on efi. Have seen some in the past . Please share what you have in mind.

BTW , and on the contrary, Tuono is for Idiots like me. Pure madness and Adeline

Great job Ashish! Bike is incredible

Congrats on building a truly spectacular ride.

I promised my mrs there would be no more rebuild projects, maybe just one more a 60's Vespa. After seeing this beauty I'm really tempted to acquire a 81/82 project in need of a home.

Thanks … and never make a promise you can’t keep.

Ditched old blackwidow 8” cans. Too loud for my taste.
Added delkevic . Bike is a hoot

Not good audio from old Samsung but it is a growling beast with very sweet but distinct sound on highway. I literally got chased by a few cars on i78 with heads peaking out and giving thumbs up :).

A huge thanks to Dave Mcmunn for patiently looking at my carb sets TWICE and making this happen. !!
