Glad it worked out for you. Are you keeping the original mufflers or might they be for sale?

Altho the stock mufflers are pretty rusty along the bottoms , I think I will see if the stockers will do me for a while, shame to put new shiny pipes on this old "barn find" ! Besides , I haven't been on a bike in 40 yrs , it may just scare the whee out of me these days !If it does , I will either sell the bike as a crusty runner , or just put it in my living room and look at it ! If I love it , next winter I will take it apart for a refurbish and continue to enjoy it ! If I decide to sell the pipes , I will mention it here first.Promise !

As I am thoroughly smitten with this addiction, I would be an interested potential buyer for your rusty runner in the future. I think she's a beaut as she sits now. I live about 2.5 hours from you, just northeast of Dallas, and I come to OKCity on occasion for business. If you're agreeable, maybe we can arrange a visit sometime and swap bike stories over a cold drink. Or maybe a hot drink, as you know what the weather has been like lately!

Good luck, and remember "progress...not perfection."

I kinda like it as it sits also. the new mufflers are earmarked to be used if it runs badly or is nasty sounding with the stockers , at least this year , I think. P.O. rattle-canned it black some time ago , so I'm going with satin black with pinstripes for now ! If it turns out I love it , may go back to red next winter,,,,,,,maybe.

I know from reading the threads that some of you folks use this set-up, so , any tips for mounting,jetting will be greatly appreciated. BTW , the tank just got treated to a bead-blasting , re paint (satin black for now)and CREME treatment , carb is being vatted, petcock rebuilt , so I am getting real close ! Trying to post pix , is harder than wrenching on the bike !!
besides the muffler/carb. jetting stuff , what about tires? shinko classic 240 tires will work , right??

Correct tire size is 3.25-16 front and rear.
Those sizes are out there but a little hard to find, and the WW's are expensive when you do find them.
I don't think those shinkos come in the right size.
3.50 will work, and I think Scrambler Cycle, a member here, has those.

I was afraid the shinko was too good to be true !
