I managed to get the bike running on the carb it came with CVK standard carbs and the motor sound ok... just not really dropping the RPM's, Turned out to be poor fitment of the carbs on the wrong inlet manifolds.. It had Keihin flatslides in a box and had Flatslide manifolds, Cable etc

Swing arm and all other parts have been taken off since this photo and ready to go off for a light media blast to remove the horrid Polish finish..

She's had some love over the years but in the wrong way Not really a fan of 90's bling! I'm still waiting for the Frame and other parts to come back from the blasters and have sourced some Parts that were either wrong/missing or modified over the years, Found some Nice NOS stuff.
