Bandaids

So while I still don't have the right jets for my carburetor I needed a way to still go on the freeway and get to school and back I came up with a solution.  I luckily had some pieces of inner tube from my mountain bike that were perfect for slipping over the pod filters.  I thought this would help restrict the airflow to a manageable level.  I am not at 100% previous power yet but the bike idles really well so I've got that going on now.  First gear is tough because of this jet issue I think.  Also going faster than 60mph is hard because of the same reason but it'll get there.  Happy with having a project but I probably could have picked a better time for this because of school.  Once the bike is up for winter I will take it all apart and do the big cosmetic stuff.  It will be sweet!
