Hey guys, thought I'd finally make a build thread over here for my H1. The build has been slow and long, but I keep knocking off a little at a time. Here are some pics of the build...

Heres how I got it

A quick mock up to see where I wanted to go with it

More to come soon I hope. For some reason I can't get the damn thing to fire...we have gas and spark but no turn over...
I'll keep ya guys posted.

It's hard to modify that many things and have the package look like it all belongs together. That is a nice job. :thumbup:

It's looking great Jens!!! I didn't realize you were getting John's reed setup, did you get any port work done at the same time?

Walms,

Yep I had John do the works, reeds and stage two porting. Thanks for sending those flanges quickly too!

Really nice, the tank is superb. You must have a timing issue that's keeping the fire and gas from "being on the same page".

Great bike, with some high quality detail. :clap:

Some NICE fabrication work going on there! ;)

Did you time the distributor rotor properly (RH cylinder at TDC, rotor mark falls between marks on clutch case)?

If you are running a starfire iggy they have been reported to fire way advanced compared to the stock pickup/rotor settings. You might try switching the wires at the pickup to get it to fire closer to the stock settings. Otherwise have a look to see if your spark plug wires are connected correctly to their proper cylinders..

Everything came together really nice Jens! The tank reminds me of a 6 shooter cylinder, eye catching...... :thumbup:
