My WOW factor. I milled the letters about 1/16 inch deep then painted down in them to match the rest of the bike. The sprocket was powder coated in chrome.

Tom, are you really going to let that bike get all dirty at Portland?  Lol. It will take hours to clean it up when you get home.

Braided fuel line for the S2. Should add a couple of horsepower!

After many many months the S2 is down on rubber and out in broad daylight!

Some things to finish up yet.  Throttle kit from Wayne is very nice but is requirein a lot of finess.  Many loose ends the photo doesn't show but it will be in Portland!

Looking good!  I have used 3 of Wayne's throttles, and I have found they need to be cleaned up on the inside with a tootsie roll to work smoothly.

I am about done with the throttle. Lots of time. If I had to do it all over again I think I would make my own throttle like the earlier design but make it twist the normal way.  Much easier to install. I did not get p/n770 and had to make it plus p/n 767 and 768 required fitting. And if I used the early style I wouldn't have had to alter the length of the handlebar and notch it either.

Part 770 is not used on Wayne's setup, as he uses much thicker metal and it is not necessary.

The first time I did one, it took a while to figure it out.  After that, they go together quickly.

I'M BURNING GAS!!!!!   Mikuni is hittin' good right out of the box. Good response so far and aluminum flywheel is doing its thing. Exhaust is pretty snappy sounding.
