So I got to take the bike for a ride yesterday.  Very shprt ride because of how cold it is here right now.  With no gas tank yet I had to rig up a bottle for some fuel.  Bike runs very good.  Still needs a few tweaks.  Going to rebuild the carbs this week and the chain needs adjusting.  Bike has good power though, enough to easily induce a wheely in first two gears.  I cant wait untill its done and the weather changes so I can really take it for a ride. :woohoo:

haha that's what I was wondering. My bike used to have a -2/+8 gear ratio and I still had to force the front end off the ground in 1st. 2nd wasn't gonna happen.

Are you fairly light? I can wheelie with -1, but I'm sure to get my 190lbs more over the rear wheel... 2nd still wasn't gonna happen.
