That's some amazing work! How did you seal up the intakes on the cylinders? |

Originally with an industrial size batch of JB Weld...hence the name...and the joking pokes I still continue to get to this day from SOME board members... It worked fine and didn't leak but after a week at The Gap I noticed a VERY SMALL hairline crack so off came all the JBW (A feat in itself). The same reed boxes are now TIG'd on solidly but still had some gaps at points...which are still JBW but now the boxes are solid and the JBW isn't supporting the reeds and carbs as it was before...

Mmmm, case reeds, the best way to do them. |

I must have missed this bike on the old forum. How did it run with those case reeds? |

It pulled much better off idle and revved out well. Down low you could crack it open and you didn't have the WAAAHHHHHhhhhhaaaaaaa... It had 39.5mm bored carbs on it. My theory is that big carbs don't meter well at low airflow and large openings but the reeds greatly reduce the reversion that screw up low speed mix even more. The theory guys can correct me...

Greetings Tom, long time no see. I remember you had this bike at the Gap meet, working on the jetting. Did you decide to get out of triples all together? |

Moo handled the jetting because I suck but he had to deal with rearsets that were placed too high...lower now. Pretty much so as I have too many projects. I have the two GT250's and the GS1100 land barge when I want to honk on it. I've owned far more H2 in my lifespan then anything else so I don't plan on fading away, I'll just admire the fine work of others... Tom |

"GS 1100 land barge" ... makes me smile! (I gave up Suzukis when they went to white wheels.... and the worlds heaviest bikes!!) what was that about!! |
