    While you guys were soaking up the last rays of sunshine before winter, I spent the day in the service of my bike.  Rebuilt the carbs (the full No. 6 kit), new filters all around, new fuel lines, and new rear shocks!Alex, you would have been so proud.  I even made my own manometer-vacuum-carb-synchro-thing!  Hoo, doesn't she purr now!DTY4570605644_c6535b3616_b.jpg4570604892_325bfd257a_b.jpg4569947545_6443ed5b22_b.jpg

    Well done Dave. You'll be Unstoppable, hehe.  The R80's fuel consumption reduced significantly after the carb service. Did you replace your fork springs as well? It's usually worth doing in tandem with the rears.  Nice job with the vacuum gage, at least you won;t be chasing batteries like I do with the twinmax.
