If/when you go into your side cover be prepared. The clutch fasteners are JIS and need a proper bit and likely a $10 impact driver. Replacement Allen head fasteners are a good cheap replacement that are easy to torque to the correct setting. Do not over tighten them. Clutch plates and disc's...

I would be glad to. It only makes sense. Our route from Mankato to Mountain View is through KC.

Kin I redo my bike in blue??? :laugh2:

For those who might not know, Jim and I have never met except for a few phone calls and some on line discussion (PMs). Jim's work on the original "Red Bike" (Calendar 2024) is beautiful. The Red Bike, I think, embodies a period of simple early 70's motorcycle. I think that this standard tank...

F'n awesome. The big reveal in the Ozarks will be fun. Thanks @Jim

Put a foot between you and the dinner table... :D(I am 220 and need to be 30 lbs lighter) As your friend gets better, do NOT try to keep pace with him. If he is a good friend he will wait at the next stop sign or intersection . Riding to enjoy the ride is wonderful, riding to keep up with the...

In1978 Gunny (Gunnery Seargent) Olson bought an irregular city lot in Yuma AZ. I don't remember much but the sloped lot was V shaped with the bottom of the V at the bottom of two down hill roads. He had a nice home built with two car garage under the main living areaand a very nice patio...

Oil filter had some small black goo and a few very fine silver bits.

I will bring some, I plan on the change over to happen under the supervision of John Chaves. I am already looking forward with glee when he cusses me out. :smoke:

The Red Bike went on errands around town today. Returned to the garage, and surrendered her 800 mile 20/50 life blood for a proper transfusion. I will check the screens and refill her tomorrow.

I still have other granddaughters. I could go that fast for ONE corner but facilities for cleaning the skivvies are far and few between. I will sniff the flowers and pull over when it is safe instead.

The tail is a beautiful piece of roadway but my pace leaves traffic backed up behind me. I should not worry about that but I do and finding a "safe" place to pull over is very hard in those winding 11 miles. I ride as fast as I can comfortably see and on the "Tail" I can rarely see the corner...

I ride like Kenny Roberts when Kenny was 3 years old.

The Tail is great riding but I get tired of it after 3 miles in.
