$500 should buy you new carbs for that thing. What gives?

Looks good to me thus far. Good luck! Love the old school style.

thanks i love the older bikes

the carbs finding them is the question. there really hard to find in good shape that doesnt need work .the dip shit i got em from ran metal restorer throu the carbs and the place there at is amazing and i know there perfect.
