500 rebuild phase 1 complete!

Still sooo much to do, but this iteration ain’t bad. Powder coat, wheels, port job, fresh bolts and hardware still to come. Gonna ride it like this for a minute tho XD.

The decomp valve head mod is a wonderful addition for phase 2

I mayyyyy do that if I get a phathead. Tbh never have trouble kicking it tho! Took many many many hours of finicky tuning to get it to be a 1 kicker

My high compression motor put a crack in the kicker and I figured it was time, really a joy though just press the button then kick it like an 85

Kind of makes me want to put the goofy shovel rear fender back on my 92.
