One last post on this thread:
I have put about 150 miles on it over the last few days, still working on a few bugs, but basically, it is done. I have had a fairly steep learning curve on this bike and I don't think that I have ever had a more stubborn resurrection. I have had to do several things two or three times (in, in the case of the original carbs, I had them out five times. Heck I even had to replace the gas tank due to a leak that didn't show up until I had put a few miles on it.
But the good is that this is a very nice bike to ride. For my 6' frame and 32 inch inseam, it is a nice roomy ride. It is rather heavy, about 650(ish) pounds. Even though it is a chunky beast, it's a nice pleasant ride as long as you remember that it has 50 year old brake technology and you need to ride it accordingly. I am going to keep upgrading it as time goes by. I have another project about to launch, so I probably won't do anything to extensive on it until next year.
Finished exhaust. I'm so happy with my choice of mufflers as the sound is much more inspiring than the stockers.
Sorry for the cluttered background.
Well, that's it. If there are any updates to the Goldwing saga, I'll just go ahead and start another thread. It's sunny outside and I think I am going to take a little putt around the neighborhood.
