Purchased Oct 5 2007
Oct 6 2007... Test rode. Backfiring and clutch started slipping. Got a ride back to the Van and loaded it up. Thanks CMC for the help and the beers.
Oct 8 2007 ... Gap on plugs was set @ .040" changed to .027". No Help. Adjusted clutch (sort of) helped a little.
Oct 9 2007... Got new Pionts, condensor and cam seal. Flywiegths where in new shape w/ good springs. Compression is at - Frnt 115 lbs / rear @ 125 lbs Cold.
OCT 21 07... Put new condensor in and seal, points looked good, adjusted clutch. Somethings wrong. Motor seems to be in good shape and running right after rejetting. Clutch is coming unadjusted within about a mile. Left the bike at the bar. Need a ride to go get it. Cant see shit with those headlights.
Dec. 2007. Registered in my name. Still need to figure out the clutch issue. To damn cold.
Feb. 1 2007... Got lic. plate. Need to add to insurance, but working on clutch and putting another tire on the rear.
Way out of adjustment..
Slinger lost its cam and wheres the wafer brng?????? No wonder.
Kinda rusty in there. Check out the custom exhaust mount. Water pipe ?
Dont know why the tire is a yellow side wall but its history. Going to go through the hole wheel and brngs tommorow if i get a chance.
Feb. 2, 2007... Wheel brngs were junk, spacers worn. Replaced brngs and shimmed. Need to order new spacers. Got a new slinger, pushrod and throw out brng. Went on a test ride, alls good. Somewhere around the second or third bar i relized i didn't tighten the cable ajuster locknut. Anyway, i adjusted it a littlebit and finger tightend it to get to the next stop. After a few hours, I lrft it at the bar and caught a ride home. Pick it up tommorow.
Feb. 3,2007... Laid around all day. Get the bike tommorow......maybe.
Feb. 4,2008... Pickedup the bike from the bar. Started right up but had to clean a little oil off the floor. Thanks Wes and Debbie for watching one of my rides. Heres pics takin of the bike when i got it home.
Next thing is to change the handelbars and the headlights. Cant see shit w/ those lights. Need to fix the started button too.
3-10-08.... Changed the bars and installed ridged bushings. Not sure if i like these bars yet for comefort.
