Ok I got a used hub off ebay cuz the speedo gear was froze up in my stock
hub. I havent done any thing but new plug and minor carb tuning. and the speedo points at the F on the fuel gauge. Looking around for improvements
I pulled the intake and reeds looks like there is room for improvements there. Looking down in the intake where the reeds are theres a good 1/16
of an inch on both sides that could be ground to "Gasket Match" the reeds.
Also a nasty casting line down the middle of the intake that i was goin to smooth down and Polish. Has anyone done this?

Also i was thinking about doin minor mods like making a custom pipe and
doin clutch mods to get a little more speed. I dont want to spend too much
cash just make this one run decent till I can save up the $$$ to get a DIO.

What do you guys think?

the muffler is rusted out. I am goin to make a new one from a pipe from another bike. i dont think i saw a restrictor under the clutch cover.
