Ok here is the dash the business end of it. You can see the small aluminum plates I made to cover the existing holes in the dash. Left side has the oil gauge and will have a second light switch for the gauge light. the right will have a volt meter, I havn't found one I like yet. That way I can just look and see if the battery is hot or needs charging.



Here is a more top look at the steering wheel. 4 display digatron in top of wheel, Hand throttle just to the right of center with starter button right there. I grab the throttle and starter button at same time with right hand while slipping the cap on the tether with left hand. Tether switch dead center. Everything is real close and easy to get to with out having to look around.



Here is the throttle setup ast the carbs. I use a thrttle linkage kit from E.C. I believe the part number is lk-122. I do modify it just abit but each application will be different.

Ok I installed the rear sprocket and idler lined everything up with tranny and locked it all down.



Here is a closer look at the idler adjuster that we make and sell at EC to go with the tranny plate. It and the Idler sprocket is sold seperately. It has 4 holes in tranny plate to make adjusting no matter what the slack in chain is relatively easy.


Ok a tip for V-Twins guys the brather hose from the breather on the Indian I go to Advance Auto and get this little filter it is really for the valve cover of these little rice burners but works great on here. And its a washable and re-oil type filter. Comes in several colrs too.

Ok I am done with eveything on the lift so I set it down raised the front and installed the exhaust. Here you can see the whole bottom and exhaust ready to test.



This is how it looked for the first test run. No seat. But this test run is just riding around the yard get things hot and then put it back on the lift and check everything to see its all ok and check to make sure everything is tight and no problems with anything.
 


Here it is complete and been run pretty hard for 15 laps. And it sure feels good. This is one of my best builds to date. Oh and BTW my front yard is huge and smooth!!!!!! and can run it pretty good. Up coming pics will show.

Well as you can see by the tracks it will get up and go.  :3gears:



As you can see I have a good test area. this is the front yard.




After the hard shake down here is the read outs on the digitron. These are the highest readings achieved in the 15 lap test run in 2nd gear. top left egt..exhaust gas temp top right cht...cylinder head temp bottom left mph...mile per hour and bottom right rpm...revolutions per min.



This concludes this build. All thats left is tear down, body work, and paint then wire lights and reassemble. Will run a couple exibitions at some monster truck shows before I do that. Prolly 1st of march before I paint.

I use them mostly for non-sanctioned races on dirt track, and at home cause they don't rip the yard up. Keeps the wife real happy. :woo: When she's happy life is grand.

This is one of my best builds to date.

What makes this build especially good, versus your others?

ease of build due to all the EC parts. Its handles the best right off the lift of any I have done. Its the lowest build yet...dead on 4" frame height, and a couple little secrets that one must simply learn on their own.

I am glad everyone like the build. I assume everyone did. The puter part was time consuming... As for the sound I am on dail up and doubt that will ever happen. Sorry. As for 07 sponsors not sure yet, But if Diesel Power Additives Sponsor ship pulls out I have one lined up... E.C.Distributing will be come the main sponsor. The wife wants it to stay blue, and it is my favorite color too, so color may not change, although EC's color is red and if the price is right yup everything will become red!!! But simply am unsure at at this point.
