Welcome..... I cannot see any pictures but until you have a few posts they are not allowed  (to stop spammers), you could post them via a link to Photobucket or Flicker good luck with the work.

Welcome aboard. The monoshockers are good motorcycles. Look forward to hearing about your resto progress.

So here are some pictures,

i tried before but maybe something went bad, :D

I gave a good clean first than started the all.

I tested it now but i believe the carbs will need a better setup.
