Also got the news Goldie was one of 21 bikes selected for the Denton independent motorcycle show next month in Texas!


Congrats!  When is that show?

Are you coming down to the Harvest Classic next month?

Thanks Stev-o!!!  Unfortunately the Denton show is the week before that one.  Feel pretty pigeon holed here in iowa for shows.  Wish i could just take the week and hang out for both.

Just finished her first oil change since. Holding the motor.  I opening up the filter and it looked really good.  Next I have to swap my plug wire to resistor ones as they were interfering with my speedo/tach.

Hey cal that's how the pipes came.  They added glueing for cosmetics and probably also from them hearing it to bend the head pipes by hand.  Plug chops look good.

Alright got it wires swapped, adjusted the valves and cam chain adjuster.  Fresh oil and filter and adjusted my chain. Tannermatic is working on my carbon hugger and the front fender is drilled and I just need to clear it.

Sounds like a good trip, I like the RD's, I have a '73.

Would like to go but headed to Florida on Thurs for a wedding.

I would bet member Greenjeans will be there, he lives in that area and has a couple nice 750's.

Good luck and keep us posted...

Rear hugger showed up from tannermatic and it's perfect.  I got it turned, drilled and tapped the holes and cleared it last night.  I'll mount it up tonight.
