Carburetors

So I finally got back to working on the bike after the commotion of getting things ready for spring and vacation.

Here are the carbs in place on the bike

These carbs were originally painted all black, I'm not sure if I am going to paint them though since carb paint never holds up well.

In other news I have been cleaning the exhaust pipes and found the right one was rusted through in several places so I need to take a trip to the salvage yard and try to find a replacement.  I blame the anti dust spray they put on the roads near where my grandfather lived, this would explain all the rust spots on fenders too.
