    Remember to let her wind. If you ride it like a twin it’ll be a dawg as you said. Cruising rpms up around 4,000. Put her in second or third and bounce it off the limiter, you’ll quickly find the power. Stay out of 5th below 65 mph.

    Let me guess, you got stuck on a road that had a u/turn at each end and couldn’t find the exit.

    Don’t know what’s there after the accident but I don’t have a parts bike. Having Yammer parts Is history. 😄😄😄

    I might be interested in the ‘99

    Shop clean out. I have a set of blonde bags, trunk, and side covers if anyone needs them. Don’t think I have a key but they’re unlocked. Side covers are missing some mount tabs.

    I went through one per year on my 86 using lead acid. Went to AGM and got 5 years out of the last one never using a tender. Seems a little extreme.

    I went with the Clearview medium with vent. The vent blows a jet of air straight into my chest. I like it other than the height, getting ready to order a taller one. May have a deal for somebody when the taller one gets here. 100 miles on it.

    I use the SpeedoDRD. Works great and cheaper then the healer. I never checked the ODO accuracy before or after install, I plan to absolutely wear this bike out anyway. When it gets to the point of needing replacement the miles on me will be more important than the miles on the bike.

    That’s why I decided to try the darkside route, I was going through tires way too often. On MC tires I stayed away from the 404s, the labor involved outweighed the cost of better tires for me. I’m not advocating car tires, they’re not for everyone but I love em. 2 or 3 tire changes a year was too much.

    Not sure beyond the mess what will go wrong but the good thing is your side stand will stay lubricated.

    Next time around holler at me and we’ll grab a cup of coffee.

    I’m leaving the morning of the 17th on 80, turning South around London if you wanna try to hook up n ride down.

    I should get there the evening of the 17th. Taking the scenic route across KY and the Daniel Boone National Forest.

    Check pipe temps at the heads? Running on all 4?

    Congrats

    Check the rear shock for oil leak. Ignition switches can be a problem, easy fix on here for that. Overall incredible machines as long as they’re maintained and ridden. Keep the carbs clean, sitting long term is hard on em.

    I interested in the boards. I’ll be in Asheville.

    I’m booked at the Super8

    As long as you keep the pants on.

    Contact @eusa1 Mike Eykamp. He’s the carb guy, if he can’t talk you through it he offers a carb rebuild or carb exchange. It’s not hopeless.

    Guess I need to get off the fence before I get a sore crotch and make a decision. I’m gonna check on a cabin in the morning.

    I used a local detailer, with a little negotiation he did the interiors and ceramic coated my crew cab and her Cherokee for $1100. My dealer quoted price was similar to yours.

    I got out of HVAC 20 years ago and was messing with @uncledj since he’s still in it. We purged the lines with nitrogen when soldering to stop oxidation. The EPA and government got involved in trying to up the efficiency and drove the prices out of sight. Back when I started we could put the two ton in duct and all for around $2400.
