one looks lean, could be the flash but the front looks way lean compared to the back. I think one of the intake flanges is sucking air, you may have a vacuum leak.
By the way, Congrats Mikey! It runs, you did it man! I'm proud of you. Fix the fuel/air thing then lets go ride!

From that I concluded that there were no air leaks, but I can, and will, test it again ... tomorrow or Friday.... looks like I'll be spending some quality time with Jan tomorrow .... I think I've been neglect in my home attention lately  Overall the bike runs REALLY REALLY GOOD, STRONG .. but I've got this feeling that there's a carb adjustment that I need ..... so I'm looking for that. I don't know how much better it can run than what it's doing right now !! I mean WOW ..... but every once in awhile, say like on today's 200 miler, she would spit back through the breather ... usually after a high/moderate high rpm in 1st or 2nd gear, then back off, coast up to a side street, turn onto the street and start to give it some throttle and she'd spit and hesitate, just when I need/want a little touch of power .... Woody has told me, and I am with him on it, that it's running lean in the mid range ... I'm just hunting for all the evidence that I can find .... LOL I need to get another jet needle and change it, then see what I got

Just wanted to mention the 'break-in' process that I used .....
I broke mine in hard over the first 40 miles. I warmed her up in the driveway until the rocker boxes were quite warm to the touch ... then I rode her for 7 miles to get her fully warmed up Then for the next 30 miles I rode her like this .... 3rd gear (almost ALL the time), 30MPH, HIT IT, wide open throttle up to 70MPH (sometimes only up to 55-65, but mostly to 70) then shut the throttle down and let the compression slow the bike back down to 30MPH, then HIT IT again, and again went out about 20 miles, and returned doing the same thing. As far as I'm concerned, she's all broke in. I've changed the oil and filter .... Now I ride her ANY WAY I want to  I just try to pay more attention to making sure that she is fully warmed up before I jump her bones
