When I got it, vibrated at 4k bad and really wouldn't rev past that much. After tightening motor mount and dropping from 170 to 155 main jet, got it somewhat running and vibration seems gone. Probably needs a 160 jet, but leaving it for now as I'm going to bore it over. She just doesn't have the compression to "boogie" like I want. Thats ok, a good bike overall.

Rewired bike to get instrument panels working, added voltage regulator, added my CT1's hi/lo switch, and all brake lights working. Thats a bonus.

Headlight is weak, was harvested from a 77 DT250 (sealed beam). Same headlight on my 77 was a bright light.

Do I need to add rectifiers to the green and yellow headlight wires to run an LED? I tried an LED in an Octane frame and
lights work, flicker, then go off. I turn them off, then back on and they work. Haha, wife likes the stock headlight look, but I'm thinking an updated LED might be nice.  I broke the original lense that came w/bike.
