Just posting a quick update. Friend has been busy and so have I, sorting out bills and trying to sell parts to get more funding for this bike/ fixing the cbr.

I went over and put the stock gas tank back on. Same problem as before, but now I have pictures. The clip ons bump the tank, but not as badly as I initially thought. I put on the tank incorrectly the first time. I will look into using a new gen tank, since the front is more narrow. I hope the clip ons clear. I also noted that the right side hits the radiator hose up top.

One other issue is the rake may not be good for turn in or steering. Leaning through a corner should be fine though. I am going to find the right bolts so I can use the pre gen dog bones to raise the rear (5 inches vs 7.25in I believe from hole to hole). Then I will buy some better spacers for the dog bones as well.

Other than that, there were some idling issues the second time I started it, maybe due to the bike running rich? Swapped out the spark plugs, which were fouled and they were never changed.

As soon as it runs fine, I will post a vid of how it sounds and runs. Then onto fiberglassing the fairings. If I can find a cheap set of nsr250 fairings or rs125r fairings, i may use those. Too bad rc390 track fairings arent out on the market yet :|
