The #35 slow speed jets are in and the rear cylinder carb now has a #112 main jet. the new under tray is fitted as is the new fairing sides. The 1986 radiator conversion will have to wait until I can get a used 1986 cooling fan. The O2 sensor/fuel-air guage will be installed in the next week or so and then I will do some test runs to check and see if the jetting gets me close to 14.7:1 air/fuel ratio.

Got air fuel guage and O2 sensor roughed in and tested today so if all goes well, I may be able to do a road test next weekend.
