i've been working on a speedster project for about a year now. it is along the lines of the rootlieb kit some of the suppliers carry. there is a green one on youtube that i'm trying to copy with a few of my own ideas. the rootlieb kit sits the firewall back 4-5" more than normal a" set up. my problem is the throttle ain't going to work out this way. if i just extend the throttle link i'm going to have a really long travel on the foot feed. have any of you guys built the rootlieb kit? i would appreciate any pictures or advice you can offer, thanks
