Thanks for the info guys, found it all very helpful. Might get the old heap out of the shed this summer (with a bit of luck)

Just to be controversial: why not put a CV carb on? Very cheap, easy to fit and apparently gives the best performance on an IronHead. I reckon its the best mod I did on my '78.

Have fun!

Never used a cv carb on my shovel,but ive heard good reports as 1978xlh says could be the way to go.
