I recently took inventory of my carb stash and found several sets are patiently awaiting their turn in the ultrasonic cleaner for a cleaning and rebuild. The final step of the process is to mount them on a running bike for operational checks and syncing. Well, with Project 40 sitting idle while I wait for some parts, I have a perfect place to take care of the tuning part, at least for the 2d-gen carbs.
One of the cool parts of Project 40's build is mounting a set of freshly restored period Kerker slip-ons. I've never had a dual Kerker system in the shop and was anxious to hear them on the bike. The mufflers got treated to hours of rust removal and fresh black paint, and several more hours spent on the aluminum canisters and end caps. I also repacked them with fiberglass mat.
I think they sound great! A camera phone can't really capture the sound and we're stuck inside a garage, but so far I like 'em.
