Not that anyone missed me I'm sure, but for the past few months Ive been unable to log in. Tried the password re-set on a dozen occasions and now finally I can log in again...
What did I miss, are we still hating Harley riders? Or are they cool now...
I kid cus I care
Things have been progressing steadily for me and my 74. I bought a timing light and proper feeler gauges and now feel really comfortable in the tune up part of my bike. I've got a HHB PMA sitting next to me here just waiting for a OEM puller to come in the mail from a buddy. And somewhere out there in post land there are 2 brand spanking new VM34's slowly making their way through the border to me. I've been tinkering and fooling about incessantly since spring time, and every weekend my bike just seems a little better. I have to admit though that my cam chain is most likely at the end of its useful l life and this winter is gonna be tear down time. I haven't done a compression test but can only imagine that its not at the top of its game.
A new ticking sound has emerged from the bottom RH case that gets noticeable once everything is warmed up, and I think my clutch is in need of some love since I stupidly rode around for a few days without checking its adjustment. I'm an idiot for letting that slide but oh well I guess that's just a good excuse to make MikesXS a little richer.
She's got a stumble around 5,000rpm that I've improved on but have not yet ironed out, and she isn't much interested on going more then 85mph. I figure a new cam chain and freshly honed cylinders will sort that out, but I might just go whole hog and drop in a 750cc kit.
I've been pondering putting the XSperformance shorty reverse megaphone cans that I ran last year back on. The gorgeous ones I got from my buddy Loco Leon are a tad restrictive and quiet.
I dunno, I'm just rambling at this point. Its good to be back.
