Very nice '78! The best year AND the best color. But, I "could" be somewhat biased...

How are those 1100 carbs working?

Are U referring to the linkages? I used later model linkages to remove slop.

The rest is 75 carbs. No other changes there.

Wow! My mistake. I apologize. I thought I'd seen later carbs on there. I see now that was not the case. Either way, nice bike and quite a change you've made! Not a '78 at all!
