Johnny Cash CB750 pt. 2

Exhaust studs finally showed up today so I could get my old Mac 4 into 1 mounted and cross my fingers as I try to light it up. Carbs were already bench synced. Dialed in the gap and timing of the NOS TEC points, installed oil pressure gauge, topped up the 20w50 and went for it. Fired 2nd kick and idles perfectly. Sounds beastly when the throttle's opened. Uh... hell yeah. Gotta make up a shorter length push throttle cable (stock is TOO long for superbike bars), lose the K&N pods and install the stock airbox, blast, paint, and install the period Kerker 4 into 1 I scored last week, and decide which tires to order. I'll post detailed photos as I take care of that and cosmetics.
