KarlS Posted March 24, 2009 Share #1 Posted March 24, 2009 After drive shaft, rear drive, brake, front fork springs, and wiring problems IT'S DONE. Went down the road today and ran so well I ALMOST forgot how cold it was. Still will install new brake pads and some chrome I bought but looks like it's ready to ride. Thanks for all the help everyone made repairs much faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like riding Lansing Rd instead of I-69. I'm a back roads rider and only ride x-ways when I have to get somewhere fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
