My 6th gear final ratio works out to 100 MPH at 9k RPM which is redline. The bike was supposed to do 84 MPH tops (was probably close to redline in 6th originally). I have had it up to 70 and I can tuck down where I feel the wind flowing over my back, indicating fairly smooth airflow. I still need to get the secondary emulsion tube out and clean it better, as well as rebonding the rubber to the aluminum intake manifold for the secondary carb. I'll probably wait until winter to do that. I had the primary one rebonded when I had the carburetor off the first time.
Got a Rebel 450 project to work on now.

Mech
