We got Lola home today under her own power!!!
Purrrrrrrrrrrrs.
Paul set up the bike beautiful and figured out that ultrasonic cleaning the carbs 4 times was the charm, among other things.
I had to put Kit's original brake light back on so I had a working one. I have to run an extension from the green ground to the new light. The new one only has 2 wires coming out, no where to attach the ground. Of course, I put in the old light and it wouldn't light either. I took it apart and found a burnt bulb. I cannabalized the new setup for the meantime.
We also don't have a working front brake switch. Hers was mildly coozed. I tried to fix it back when we changed over to the M bars, but apparently no go. Ahhh, you never know what you're going to find next, do you?
One thing that literally had me shook was... the wheels are really out of true or weren't balanced correctly. I hit 25mph and almost had a tank slapper going on. At 30-35, the whole bike was shaking up and down, left and right. I could look down and see the tire wiggling back and forth but I couldn't take enough time to see if the rim was doing it or not. Kit could see the rear was muffed too. (she was following behind in the car keeping cagers off my rear end) D&S cycle in Aloha just slapped a bunch of weights on the front (30oz) along with the original one. I didn't look closely at the rear yet to see how much is back there. That alone should have given them a clue about them needing trued or something. #$%*s. Won't be going to them for anything ever again.
When it was all said and done, they screwed up the tuning and the tires.
