sounds like youve got a good plan lined out cant think of anything I add other than I disabled my sidestand switch and have not regreted it...

cant wait to see some progress a buddy has an 83 parts bike and wants to do a simalar design keep us updated...

Might be able to lower rear shocks with kit that moves shock mount back good for a couple inches....???

saw this bike at ruidoso last weekend and wondered if anybody knows it, it is in perfect shape has all the bells and whistles, some I hadn't seen before. the rider came out of the coliseum and left right away as it was starting to rain and I didn't get a chance to talk to him, sorry picture isn't better.

I had an 80 cx500 (sold it a month ago) it got 60 mpg hiway and had 58 hp the 07 1100 shadow only has 54 hp and gas milage is only 32 (as a friend here told me) same with harley my 81 ironhead has 60 hp gets about 60 mpg and the new 1200 is 58 hp and les than 40 mpg What gives? I dont see progress...

I have met afew people round here but not any "exciting riding in this area all flat straight roads here which is cool if there were no regard for ticket expenses lol who know might try it....:7_6_3[1]::7_6_3[1]:

Went for nice ride today bout 200 miles over all had a soda with Flb_78, Bossman rode with me. got started late because I lost my keys but worked out fine. Got to ride Bossmans new ME that has 1100 miles a bit more now and yes I forgot to take camera and get pictures of eveytime. Bossman and I are going on another ride fairly soon and I promise to take some pictures then.

Balance issues maybe? is fairly easy to check just stick axle through tire and set on car jack stands and spin buy hand to check for heavy spot I think ther maybe tread here somwhere with more detailed howto.

never heard of boiling carbs but guess it would clean em. Sad to say yup diaphrams are expensive the cheapest Ive found them for 83 was 56 they just went up to 66 apiece ouch, might try liquid tape if just pin holes.

yeah Riding jacket .......

Thanks for the update and good news JT and we will continue to pray for your brides return to great health and home.

I noticed one thing I would like to add, your local auto paint stores should be able to put auto quality paint in an arosol can for you it is more expensive but is a better paint IMHO and you can also get some clearcoat, and no one really mentioned wetsanding? I have found I get much better results with a time consuming good wetsand.

Thats my dads trike he/we built a few years ago, VW powered. he enjoys it alot, tinkering with it as much as riding it. and no didnt we get to buy the 57 anyone notice the white bumper tips?

was inside a small barn

Below are pictures from our ruidoso trip including a barn find.....

Thank the Lord, we'll send some more prayers for you and Jeanie, let her know we're still thinking of her and praying hard. hope she gets to come home soon.

my 88 was kinda squirrelly till I put new steering head bearings and set them to a 2 pound pull now is stable as any bike, I have cheng shins front and rear the hi max ones forget the numbers, except the rear is narrower than stock a 130/90 instead of 140/90. I still have rubber engine mounts and two up or 1 up is solid, and no wobble at any speed hands or no hands. oh don't know if it matters probably not but I got steering bearings from motion industries not Yamaha.

soory dont know torque but that is a sweet bike he got...

Glad you got her home Larry look forward to seeing your new bike, and thanks friend. We will get some pictures this weekend for sure. :dancefool::dancefool:

it should use some oil most 2 strokes require a 32 parts gas to 1 part oil mix, I would make sure its a 2 stroke and then check lines from oil tank to the oil/injection pump, may have to prime pump by forceing oil into itthey can cavitate and suck air make sure oil lines are tight to pump so it cant suck air. I am not familar with a darby but have worked on quite a few different 2 stroke scooter/mopeds. let us know what ya find.

Was 8500 too much? i didnt think so, but not my bike..

the owner of the dealership here in NM had it, had bought it as his personal bike and put in storage at dealership after less than one year (broke both his knees) and I guess decided to sell it recently

I heard a rumor of another one too, a member here got a M.E. from a DEALER with 1100 yes thats right eleven hundred miles, dont know the number yet, but will post pics when I get a chance. This member says hes keeping his 1gen time will tell...........

Still praying hard for old fart and Jeanie, I know its hard to see reasons at times like these but we still have to keep the faith.
