Johnny, the clutch pull on this bike is easier than my sohc with EBC springs. It really isn't too bad, but it has a really long pull. My sohc bikes both engaged real quick. Right at the top, so to speak, whereas this clutch starts engaging about 1/2" from the bar. Pull is smooth and predictable, just not as snappy as what I'm used to. What you got going on with that Kerker ? Is it really that bad?

Tools, what are you doing with all those twin cam parts!?!? You got one hiding in the shed, Dontcha? ;)

No pics cuz the bike is still at Eric's shop where we unloaded. Figured no sense in bringing it home and driving the rims back out there for the new rubber. I did snap a pic on one of my recent conjugal visits. Pretty bad pic with the sun behind it, but it proves she does exist. Haha!

Not in love with the front fender. The color and shape of it looks like the forehead of a dolphin to me... :/

That front fender makes it look like a Honda PC 800 Pacific Coast.

Rust doesn't bother me. I'm used to that. Is it smashed or rusted through anywhere?

They're fine, thank you very much! LOL. For now at least...

If it.ever makes it's way home I'll snap some decent pics. We rode down to the Richee Freeze afterwards and the bike was actually drawing a lot of attention. One guy asked for a price. :) Another couple asked if they could sit on it.???  Who does that!?  I told them they could sit on it all they wanted so long as they were nude. The boyfriend looked a little miffed. :)

most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handelbars to the saddle.

Thanks Andy! If all goes as planned I should be bringing this bike home tomorrow or Saturday. I can't believe it's been this long and I still haven't gotten to actually ride this thing. Just a few quick runs around town.

That's probably all the further the cord on the battery charger will let you go.

haha Good one dude

I honestly called a cab to see about getting a ride in to town today to pick it up. He said it would be $65!!! Some times this country living kinda sucks...sometimes. I'll get Crys to drag me in to town this weekend.
