Fabrication takes wwwwway too long when you order parts as singles and only when they are within reason.
Here are a few shots older shots, past the point of no return. while measuring/fitting up the subframe. Will take/post current ones this weekend if I can get the welding done
...wife just calls it Frankenbike and wants it out! [img][/img]</end quote></div>
Wow! Were did the new swinger come from? Looks like a 450R subframe, and rear shock???
Frankenbike kicks ***!!!

I ordered the 230,240,250 main jets and 17.5, 20.0 pilots and the 5L1 needle. Right now I am using a 210 main jet and the stock 15 pilot with the stock needle on the richest setting, but since I'm at 7000ft I hope I am in the ballpark with what I ordered.</end quote></div>
that should get you in the ballpark. i would try the 20 pilot and the 250 main 1st. put the clip in the richest position and have the a/f mix screw about 1/2 turn out.

...being as true to the QS as possible..I first inspected the newer, stronger breed, only outsourcing from Honda if design (or funding [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] ) demanded. Will pull pics and measurements together as I go... hope to be ready for powder coating in 30 days..Or buy a dog to move in with!
PG.. Love the signature..and the quote!
