It is all back together except for the console and speedo. Rode it tonight about 75 miles or so, no issues at all. Sure was nice to be back in the wind again. MAYBE tomorrow I will get the speedo and console mounted. It is just a bad design, those tiny pins and the wire is so damned short. But I have gotten it before, and should now.

Bike ran great, but it raised hell til the oil got pumped well. I was a little worried, then she settled down and ran great.


Thanx for the help and advice.

RD.

Well more bad news. Today the gas overflowed when it got hot, and the paint peeled off of one side. Clear to the metal. I can't win for losing. Gonna ride it for now, but it was so damned pretty. The gas ate it like paint remover.
