- Well I think that the air leaks problem is sort d and was the cause of the left side pop. It runs like a dream now as you can see in the sunshine ride!

You can’t beat a classic ride in the sun.Looking good Nat a real shame you have to part with it 👍🏻
If it’s not nackered, it doesn’t belong there!
Can't be that classic sounds aswell a unusual bird chirping in sunshine in Feb😄
And a huge tit in the screen!
@@NatsNackersYard Made me look for a high tits just now then I realised what you meant lol
The stars aligned there :D
I was very lucky with the blue skies!
Yes that's one of the first things ( besides internal rebuilds) I've changed on the all my xs bikes. The little things we sometimes overlook. She sounds sweet. You are making me envious. I can't wait until summer.
I didn’t really think that it needed it but it has made a hell of a difference.
The USA spec was called the xs custom due to the humped seat,whereas we called it the special .
None of your joyous ride would have been possible unless you put your heart n soul into it, as per normal.
👍🤟
Thanks mate. I have thoroughly enjoyed this one.
Really good video
Thanks mate. It's a great feeling when it all comes together. Makes up for all of the time that it doesn't!
Looks and sounds amazing Nat. Great work.
Mate it rides beautifully. Gear changes are so smooth compared to more modern chain drives. Definitely worth a go if you spot one to do up.
@@stevepalmer5670 you may be right Steve but it’s a bit of an unfair comparison. This bike is 40 years old!
My version is more 90's and 00's bike mate. I have never owned anything new!
Nice one Nat. I had them filters on my cb 900 cheap bike ran like a bag off shit . So paid a bit more and got some k n with a stage 3 kit . Be sad to see the old girl go . Onwards and up 👍😂❤️🔧🏍
It runs well now. With pods and straight through exhausts I think that it will always be a little poppie but it's a great bike.
So, I’m wondering, are those pods designed for 1978 carbs? Why did you have to modify them. I need filters for my 78. Any suggestions. Nice bike you have there.
This was along time ago but I do remember having to restrict the air on the pods.
Hey Nat, did you do any rejetting to compensate for the pod air filters? And if so what jet sizing did u use?
It was a couple of years ago so I don't remember mate. As a rule of thumb though it's up one main jet size per adaption. This might help: czcams.com/video/sRb3AilTlwU/video.html
Are these the tapered turbo mufflers? sound cool, look good.
It was a while ago but I think that they were just straight through pipes mate.
