Naturally, the low beam decided to cut out with 7 miles left. Clicked on the high and thankfully it worked just fine. Going to have to look over my switches and wiring. Figure out what went loose. Might just be a burnt out low beam element..?

Well today was a weird day... LATE LATE or early this AM I put the 550K up for sale... Not sure why as I vowed to never sell her.. Got a few inquiries right away even with the high asking price... Decided to take her for a ride before calling anyone back......Here she is next to a corn field... It was too much fun driving her. Got home, let the inquiries know I am removing her for being for sale. Then I apologized to her, gave her a bath and some Never Dull on the chrome........
sanded down the pitting on the tappets then polished them, inspected the rocker shafts for play, re-installed the valve cover, adjust valves/tappet clearances, rode the living piss out of it for 20 miles or so. It seemed to like the abuse. I think it is possible I had a few clearances too tight prior to this endevour. The tapping noise is more consistent with all valves now, gets quieter when hot, and is not heard over the exhaust over 2,000 RPM.
Let it sit in the driveway, which was good because I got hit by a drunk driver, with a suspended license. My car is tougher than the bike.
quit dragging my feet and started hanging partsmade a dash and mount for the front fairing
Cleaned/bench sync'd the carbs on my cb750. Put my tail lights on, worked on bleeding the front brake. Took her for a test ride... feels good. I need to cut my front fender down and get that brace back on the forks though. Feels a bit squirrly without that thing on there.And no... I didnt go riding like that. Just wanted a picture on the bike

I like that seat, what kind and where you get it?
Sweet, bubbly, Buddha - Say it ain't so!!!
I will shamefully admit that....On the S90 I tapped the mirror mount locations from 8mm to 10mm because I couldnt find stock Honda 8mm.
Newbie here:After replacing the o-rings on the tubes between the carbs earlier in the week, I waited for it to stop raining. It stopped raining, the battery was dead. Jump started her, then the caliper piston got stuck out, bike would barely roll. Got some pressure off the piston, putted around with no front brake for a little while. This weekend I get to clean out the caliper. Woo-Hoo!

Just where in the world is Eureka Springs? I've been through Eureka, CA before; is that anywhere close?
