  1. I think we're gonna need a bigger bolt.

     

    Even with my extra length on the replacement bolt for the side stand it still isn't holding. Starting to bend, I'm having to keep a 2"x2" piece of wood with me to keep a reasonable lean. Thinkin about tapping down into the hole as far as I can then sourcing appropriate bolt, if that doesnt work then my cheap ass will have to pony up the dough for a new tombstone/timing cover.

    Cross your fingers for me.

  2. Frenchies is a great place. The bay area is not bad, although its funny how I miss the winters of the nord'.

    I have all my parts, i might end up with the only right side kickstand v11 though. My current setup leans pretty bad. The things I do to save a buck...

  3. Finally got the levers that fit! Also bought a homebrew gear lever from Harper's, pretty quality part.

     

    Funny story, I had just installed my new levers (thanks for the tip bikelee) and on my initial test ride I way over tightened the adjustment screw (the one that on the stock lever is blobbed with some sort of glue) at first I was ok but after a few stops and getting smoked by a Fiat I realized what I had done.  It got so bad after a few pumps I could hardly move. Backed the screw out a few turns and I was good.

     

    Thought my stupidity might make a few of ya chuckle... :homer:

     

    Atleast I'm back on the road :race:

  4. Fantastic!!

     

    That map felt awesome. Not sure if it was a case of my bike being outta commission for so long or not but I don't remember 6th gear pulling so hard.  Keep in mind my daily driver is a 71' VW Beetle so that could be a little jaded, but either way I felt like reaching for a 7th gear thinking I was in 5th not paying attention to the speedo.

     

    Crazy how much the ignition was retarded, otherwise I didn't see much that was changed. Somehow though cold start was perfect, better than it ever was. No black smoke!

     

    Thanks a ton Ken!... Like I've told a few forum members round' here if you ever find your self down here in Florida you've got some beers coming your way. :thumbsup:

  5. Looks like I'm going to have to wait until next weekend to test her out.

    My clutch lever doesn't fit and my battery isn't taking a charge, hopefully under warranty...

     

    I took a look at your map, can't wait to test the impatiently waiting V11 out! Even through all the struggles with these Bin files I still enjoy tinkering with this stuff, plus I have learned a lot.

     

    Besides it's still easier than swapping out jets and rebuilding carbs.
