It's alive..! 72 Demon

[nodemon]

It's been a LONG 4 years... and obviously still a little ways to go before she's on the road, but tonight this Demon finally moved under its own power. The feeling I have right now is one I've thought about throughout the 4+ years I've been working on this project.
Cheers and thank you TO ALL those on this site that have given advice, encouragement and motivation to get me to this point. Even you, @RustyRatRod .... I know I'm on "your list", and you're sideways with me, but you chimed in on so many of my posts and stupid, novice questions, I want to make sure you know it was appreciated.

Sounds good! What was your fix?

Thanks...Not sure if it's "fixed", but seems to run good.
I've just messed with the timing and carb adjustments until I liked it. There's still a little engine shake, but minimal.
Now I have to figure out the clutch noise...lol

I believe in weight reduction, but you need to get you some fenders and doors on the beast!! LOL

Leaving the doors off for now so I can bale out quickly if it catches on fire, brakes fail, etc.... lol
