Wow!  Glad you are safe.  Glad the project survived too. 

Good luck on getting life back on track - that has to be a big challenge.

Got my battery box made.
Wiring is 90% complete and fitting nicely in the box.
Seat unit is mounted on the battery box lid, which is hinged, so it can flip back out of the way to expose the electrics.

The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

I think I'll have to get a standard set of carbs untill I have the tuned engine built.
It feels way over fueled off idle.
The rattle off the 38 flats is nice.

I replaced my rs-36 carbs on my fj1100 with rs-38 carbs when my old 1980's flatslides started having hanging idle problems.I had to rejet the idle jets from 17.5 jets to 15's and I dropped the mains down to 130's but I think I'm going back up to the 135's. I think I'm getting more power out of the old rs-36 carbs I just need to solve the severe hanging idle problem they developed. The old carbs have bakelite slides. There sound is even clackier.

And the rollers slides on the FCRs are SO nice and smooth - no "hangups" or "snatching" the RS carbs sometimes give at the very moment you don't need it!

Off the bench and down the road, up to 3rd gear and all is well.
I'm a bit giddy with the thought of what I have.
It's many years ago I fell in love with the F1 concept and lusted after one.
Now.....I have one.
Dreams do come true.
Never give up.
