    No. The fuel rail o-rings have a unique profile. They are more like a D than a O in cross-section. You have to buy the correct part. @chacal has them. HE has everything.

    Power wasn’t really a concern. It’s already got everything cut off from the x pipe back

    Yes he’s gotten a few hundred bucks out of me last week or two! Good dude! But I figure if I can get them locally I could finish the carbs up by Father’s Day and get to work on other things on the bike.

    I got the spin on oil filter and valve adjustment setup from him in the mail yesterday and placing an order this coming week for brakes front and rear, bearings, fork seals, and I’m probably going to go ahead and order parts for the fuel cap, she’s a little leaky, tho I think if I clean up the mouth a bit it might seal up. Already got some strip discs and did a test section on the tank to see how well they work... looks great, and fast! I’d like to pull the motor and paint it and the frame but I may just clean the motor up and just paint the rear section of the frame... I’ve got till December before my twins are born and need to get the bike done before then. I know I won’t have time for it when they’re born so I may not pull the motor. I’m usually working 84hrs a week and only have an hour or two a day MAXIMUM to work on the bike. And that’s completely neglecting anything else in my life.

    Sorry for the wall of text but I’m excited to do it RIGHT this time. when I put the bike together it was going to be a rat so didn’t worry too much about looks and didn’t (still don’t really) care much about performance. As long as she drives down the road I’m good :)

    Power is not just how much HP is made; it's where and when it's made. Even as she is now she won't run right on stock jetting, and she'll run less-right without the crossover. The fastest and easiest way to get her running well is to get the powerplant and airflow as close to stock as possible.

    Roger that I’ll leave it on. You have any experience with, I think they’re called, track stands? Stable enough to put the bike on there take the wheels off and do some actual wrenching?

    Sorry I didn't e this sooner.

    No track stands needed. Center stand can do it all with planning, and the careful application of straps and sandbags.
