Yup. It's a good looking bike but it is kind of boring. Not at all as much fun as my Shovelheads and Pans from years gone by. Truth be told come spring I'll most likey be packing it in anyway. After 50 years on two wheels the motorcycle thrill is just about gone and besides, by then I should be in a position to pick up something I've been wanting to purchase for a looong time -

I'm going to check that belt though. I did adjust it recently.

we remove the swingarm and turn the spiracle joints to the 180 position and fill it with water proof grease then turn them back and re install

most we have changed as you cant turn them as they are near frozen

I'm not sure those cars have belts - except in the cab....

The original AC factory is not so far from here.

Hey Man, I've said the same about my 86, but always find myself back in the garage. It's a love/hate thing I'll probably take to the grave.Don't give up on her.

I went through two or three sets of 422's quickly and ended up buying shocks from Works Performance. They were great but now the company is out of business.

The shop that did my shocks originally installed Works Performance shop units on the bike but the spring broke loose on one of them during the test ride so we sent them back in favor of the Progressives.
