Installing a set of VM34 Mikuni's on the 1980 Yamaha Street Tracker

The finished job.

 
First step is removing the exhaust


Then remove the stock carburetors.  It's straight forward.  The cross bracing will need to be removed to make pulling apart easier.


Prepping for new carbs.  Make sure all of the old gasket material is removed and ready for new gasket.

I like to use a high tack gasket sealant.

I also use anti seize when screwing screws or bolts into alloy. 




Inlets installed.


The kit from Dime City Cycle included this nice split throttle cable.  Saved a bunch of time.




VN34s installed.




Fuel line hooked up and ready to mount to tank.

Metal Motorcycle Sign

My wife found this and picked it up for me.  Looks like a 550 Honda to me.
