Hey Hedge, Nice looking dog you got there. Must think he's a stunt dog in training!!! We'll try to get some rides in next spring. In the meantime keep him away from those picture windows. Pat

I agree with tribear. Go up a size on the pilot jet and you may find that you can take the shim out from under the thrux needle. You may actually find that a shimmed stock needle works better with the larger pilot. I have a Bonneville America and for a while ran the stock pilot jet and larger...

Nice! Did the same thing to the chain guard on my America - drilled it and then sent it out ot be plated. Sorry no pics.

Matt, I think Uncle Charlie did his valves last year. Check with him.

Hankmarx, If you lost top speed after modding the airbox, it might mean that you are running too lean and need to go up a size on the main jet. Dave, same for you.

Only six years on that battery huh? I had to replace mine after two. Since Jimmy isn't coming this year I guess we are gonna have to pack everything on the bikes. Gotta buy a few new bungie cords. Charlie, Maybe I'll drop by sometime next week or next weekend to go over BTB plans and...

No problem. let me know if you order another batch.

You could always use an exacto knife and cut away the excess black. Clear would be really nice - I would pay xtra for clear. Regardless, if you order these, I'll take one.

Nice. So it's a black background? or Clear? Thinking something like that might look good on the (painted black) sidecover of a BA. Hmm.

Hilarious!!! That's one way to solve the piracy problem.

Glad to hear you got a replacement belt installed. The BTB should be a good time. Let us pray to the weather gods!!!

Hey Buddy, the bike is looking good!!! Keep us posted on Bennington plans.

By now your probably starting to realize you had it pretty good in the high rise apartment where everything was taken care of and you could go riding anytime. Oh the joy of home ownership!!! I rode to the Dairy yesterday (after working outside all day Saturday - filing in holes the dogs...

Hedge, I was laughing my ass off reading your report of Microsoft Boot Camp. Made me glad I'm not a systems guy even though you systems guys get well paid for what you do. No way would I want to go through all those tests, for any amount of money. Especially with the distractions of Vegas -...

Could just be the rotted out cables. BTW nice CB 750 chop. I agree with everyone else, spend some time fixing up that bike and then decide what to do later. I personally wouldn't ever sell it if it was your dad's bike. Ride it with pride.
