Hell for that matter, I can just go back to double wall rubber and clamps from auto zone; I don't have any sharp bends to navigate other the at the tank and I have a 90 there.

The new fuel pump is in place and the bike is back in service, so yesterday I snugged up the carb boots, 1/4 turn in on the idle mix screws; the choke start warm up sequence just doesn't act like I remember, so I'll try to sneak up on it.

 

The bike starts way too easily to justify buying another set of carb sticks (the ones I use to have...long gone) but the carbs could be a little more synchronized than the bench job I did.

 

So I'm getting ready to address a "red flag" issue I had at the front brake lines and their re-assembly.

I put the current set of Galfer's SS front brake lines on the old girl back in 1987-88'ish. 

 

The lines now have kinks and crushing, not heavy but still there. the line are very short and the caliper ends are straight not angled...they don't fit well and I don't like it. hah 

 

So I have a set of NOS galfer's on the way for 80 bucks and...how do I pull this off without making a mess!!?? haha

Could be a winter project...

Here is the meter mounted with the rubber overlay. I don't have the harness made up yet...easy-pezy to do later. I have another meter I got on eslay for 5.00 that one is to experiment on changing the letters and numbers to match the stock colors.
