Hi, Im new, been cruising this forum for a while. been riding for about a year in a half now on a 84 KZ 550 LTD Shaft. Traded up to a 86 Harley Sportster 1100 because I wanted to learn to fix it and modify it. My uncles a mechanic and he usually works on cars, he has been wanting a bike of his own but he wants a metric, which is fine with me. I have taken apart the carb, changed the throttle cable after i snapped it off at 120 mph racing my dads Bourget Fat Daddy (Love that bike) But I am going to do my own work on it. I am proud I broke and got it running again and I am happy I can learn. We are planning on buying a King Tank and stretching it to make it a custom tank for my bike.

Thanks for reading
Cowboy
