The bike is running great, when I get the time to ride it.  Unfortunately That isn't often and I don't foresee that changing.

She's for sale. http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php/topic,157042.0.html

Is that confusion and anger? 

It sits in my garage a lot.  Riding through town traffic isn't much fun and I really don't like telling my girls "Hey guess what I'm leaving to have fun and you can't come with."  So...yeah. There are other things happening in life (We're buying a house soon and I'm getting tired of driving a 64 Corvair every day) that are motivating me to sell it as well. Honestly I think I had more fun building it than I do riding it.

Sold. Last night a badass rocker chick named Jill drove up from Wichita and handed me some money and we loaded the bike up in her man's truck and they drove off into the...thunderstorm. haha

We are buying a house this week and there are a million things going on in our lives and the bike just needed a new home. The girl who bought it is going to have a lot of fun with it and honestly...probably more than I was having. In some weird way it's almost like I built the bike for her.

There will be more later in life!

Thanks to everyone who helped!

Good luck with the house.  Now you have room for a new project at your new house!

Yes. In fact the new house has a full workshop in the basement which is at garage level.

I have that on our CB350F as well.  Flashers come on, but don't blink and I'm wondering if that ground wire is supposed to go somewhere.  Looks like it from the Wiring Diagram, but I'm not seeing a spot for it.

I ended buying a new flasher and didn't have to ground it and it worked fine.
