Plug in Hybrid. 37miles electric + regen braking; the rest hybrid. If you're wondering, the mpg is 103 average from our driving.

Good information! What im hoping to accomplish is more space so I don't have the big pinky air box, as this is not a traditional venture. I chopped this bike and bobbed it so I am bare bone. The airbox really causes me an issue up top because it takes up so much space. I would like some pipes on my bike to rev at red lights and let people know I'm there. If I could get some more fuel by adding a bigger jet, I would like to increase the performance of the motorcycle. Gas mileage is so down on my list because I have this for fun, and my car is electric. 😂 In Pa, we don't get a huge riding season, but we do get a nice one!! So in short- increased noise, performance, and more space utilization.

Hey guys! I think I'm ready to move on to the next phase of my bike mod and start to do the carbs, box and pipes. -I want to eliminate the air box and go into cones -rejet the carburetors -grab the left side pipe before the horseshoe and bring it over to the right. Hopefully going into one pipe. Hi at work suggested after they connect, using 2" pipe for back flow purposes. -nice loud slip on to wake up the neighbors. After thumbing through a bunch of threads I haven't found a good one to walk through airbox delete. I heard people use RoadKing pipes, and found a good write up in rebuild carbs but not rejetting. Suggestions, thoughts, helpful threads, advise would be really appreciated!! Cheers! -Alex

Some more pictures.

Lol. I love aluminum foil for painting. It is shape-able for around hard to do places and costs less than tape!!

Updates

i have been just oiling it every day and trying to work it in. Seems to be working..

the issue seems to lie where the spline goes through the frame to push up on the master cylinder.

Its the pedal that that is having issues. I removed the bolts for the rear master cylinder be steped on the pedal still hard as a rock. I've been spraying lubricant on it daily. Is there a faster way to get this to work any better??

No no haven't removed the pedal.

Yeah. When I step on it to "apply" the brake it's stiff as a nail and doesn't budge.

Yeah I step on the pedal and it doesn't move. Lol

No ground problem because there is no safeties 😅 Wheres a good place to start with this brake pedal issue? Front calipers have no fluid because I rebuilt the cylinder.

What would call the rear brake pedal to seize? No locked back tire....

Seat!

Yep!

Ok so the b/w is looking for a ground to KILL the TCI! I snipped it and it starts now!!!!

Ok so please someone give me an opinion..... B/W should or should not be grounded?? (Coming from TCI) my drawing wing shows it grounded, but I'm having second thoughts because it looks like the TCI is looking for a ground there to shut off.. please help!

Well, it's started to look consolidated again... three days later!!

Science Zag! Crazy how the beast runs!!

Yes! Any threads on this process???

Good advise. Thanks!!! can you do the pvc and come filter in replace of an air box without re jetting?
