Bill, if you do decide to get a different muffler i'll but the one thats on there if you want to sell it.

          Sure Jeff, but, it doesn't look as bad to me, in real life. In the photo, it looks pretty goofy. I'll probably keep the muffler though.

Hi Bill, you dont drive it, you ride it, the bars are fine as they are, just check head bearings ain't notched.
 It does need to be powered around most corners, just go in fast, lean over and accelerate  ;D ;D
 Anyone taking bets on how quick you get a ticket  ;)
 They look pretty wierd with a reverse cone mega, need a more 'modern' silencer to go with the tank/seat/squared off fairing combo

PJ

          Yeah, the seller told me that the bearings felt like they had flat spots on them and gave me a tapered bearing kit to go with it.

Check your wheel bearings as well... Those heavy wheels always had at least one bearing that was goofy. Also might want to think about a different chain/sprockets. My stockers off my 750 weighed about 30lbs!!!

        Have to say that it DOES feel good to have something to be excited about. It HAS been a long time since I've ben able to enjoy much. Yeah, you youngsters need to kinda keep tabs on us once in a while. ;)   You DO do a pretty good job though. ;)    I feel kinda like Roy Clark and Buck Owens on Hee Haw I don't know who's PICKIN', but I'M GRINNIN'! ;D
