Thanks, It looks ok for its age but if you get up close you see some wear spots. I still need to have some of the crome pieces redone. The instrument housings, both fenders, handlebars and back grab bar. I also have a new clutch and springs waiting to go in and fork seals. I had a local shop do the paint last summer in Imperial Orange. Its close the the Honda Kandy Sunrise Orange but its actually a Volvo color! Today I finally adjusted the valves and it runs quite a bit better. It warmed up nice and had better response. Took a look at the plugs and they look very good, not fouled at all. I can't remeber what size the Keyster jets were I put in. I should have checked them with the recommended stock sizes. I am planning on rejetting my Kawasaki triple up on the mains. Its supposed to have 75's stock and its running 70.5's. I frequent another board for Kawas and when I looked at the 75 main jets that came with the Keyster kit, against ones I already have the sizes are wrong! The 75s seem smaller than the 70.5 that are in it? I will visit a local Kawasaki dealer who has parts and take in a spare carb body to make sure the jets are right. I'm thinking of putting in 35 pilots and 80 or 85 mains. Right now the pilots are 25s and it has no low end at all. What part of the world are you from? Thanks for the compliment on my 74 and have a good one.
