Thanks Peter!
We had some engine issues, mostly connected with the carb but now is engine performing much more better.
Also did some steering tuning, static and dynamic

Started to grind out the welded grips on my tracks. They are very good for winter rallying in Sweden, but unfortunately not compatible with the paved roads over here

Great restoration mate, love it. I'm so jealous.
I've just spent the weekend with a friend's at a show and now I NEED to get mine done!
How is the engine with new radiator and fan??

Thanks Paul, sooner or later you will ride your own!
We have had overheating issues with running without the thermostats, now with thermostats its much more better. Wise guys told something about need of restricting the water flow.
Temp is holding around 190°, but needs more tests under load. Still at the beginning...

I put today in my Zenith-Stromberg 97 adjustable main jets and its really nice thing. Work with the standard jets could a pain in the a**, so I recommend this. Very good for proper adjustment, especially if you have non-standard carb.
