Well after 3.5 years of life work and occasional roadster work, 6425 made it on the street on the 4th of July. Now I know exactly why it is so much fun. Had some minor issue to deal with, but it handled great. Have some poor braking issues to deal with, lot of effort and slow to stop. Looking at different pads.
Ran good for the first few miles, then started running rich (need a little more tuning on the timing and the PJ_III).

First fill up- no problem with the Breeze check valve and larger vent, had a Vette owner come over and admire the rough work...Calibrated the speedo...no problem. My custom sidepipe covers worked great-no snakebites yet!!

Overall it was a hoot!!

Congratulations! Drive safely until you get the feel of it. Snakes bite in more ways than one.

Awesome for sure, my first real drive was last Friday, was nervous as all get out. Fun for sure, but a bit scary as well :-)
