come Hell or High Water, Chuck will see it through

Man, that does look good. I might've gone that route if I had known to order that set up. The logos and the correct speedo and tach numbers make it look right.

$300 for tach + speedo is a good deal.

It was a nice 69 degrees today, so I dumped some Gunk in the Sport and did 75 miles. Nothing to report.

+ paint and body work (black and silver would be easy, candy apple green is another matter). perhaps some scrap and rework drilling the windshield and fairing pieces. And then new clip ons and controls to fit the fairing as well as all the bracketry for the light and mounting. But Dave, if anyone can show us the way, it has to be you!

Nick, if you've been watching on Wild, know that Chris (aka Twowings, Norge guy) is planning to camp just south of town at the Shady Oaks Campground. https://camptheoaks.com I have 98 EV and with that seat, I am better off on the Sport. But not sure about hauling camp gear on it. I've always camped on the EV.

My goodness. We are getting some interest particularly on Wild. Make sure that you go ahead and book a room. I dare say, I count about 20. Given 50% follow through, that could easily be 10.

If the tach doesn't work but you hear it rattle when it's shaken, it's likely the counter weight. Epoxy fix.

I happened across thos video referring to seafoam recently- seems to advise against the stuff: I saw the video and enjoy Scotty. His big point is that Seafoam doesn't benefit Direct Injection engines, especially the VW that had a real carbon/coke issue on the intake / combustion areas. (We're talking $2k to blow it out with walnut shells, before the timing adjuster packs up and ruins the engine altogether.) Although we don't have DI, if Gumout will clean the fuel system better, go for it. Seafoam was good for sticking floats -we don't have carbs either. But that old Toyota did show thorough carbon clean with Gumout. Dang impressive. He didn't compare if Seafoam would do the same. Since my motorcycles all have plenty of miles on them, I might run some Gumout to clean out the carbon. Again, it couldn't hurt. And what, you'll spend the same $10 for 20 pack of Pabst? Ohh.... wait??!!

yep

Airtech doesn't sell the windshields either. But Gustafson Plastics makes many to fit.

The whiteface EV tach is the same as on the Greenie. The internal counterweight came loose of my EV tach. Took the bezel off (terrible job and worse to put it back on) and epoxied the weight back on. No problems since. The EV speedo is getting pretty loopy at 65k miles. Speedo says I am going 60 when I am actually going about 45. It doesn't jump but is getting VERY optimistic. Probably won't get it repaired until it stops altogether. Then back to Joel Levine.

Docc, yeah. I'd like to do it every year. Sorry you can't make it this year.

Compression boost over time.

If I have a bottle of Seafoam around, I might stuff a little bit in the tank for grins and giggles. I am not big believer in any of it . But Seafoam has a decent reputation to clean out the fuel lines and combustion chambers. The insides that I can see, the pan and rockers, look clean enough to eat of. Just spitballing the Seafoam stuff for what I can't see.

I'll have to read my copy of TOTW 2 and refresh.

I think that sums it up. I think when the writer refers to the use of throttle and brake together that he means during the smooth transition from braking to throttle. "Smooth" being key. A lot of it does concern track riding, since even in spirited street riding the rider isn't going fast enough to use brakes on very many curves. I think the best way to experiment with it is driving in traffic when you are turning into an intersection or cloverleaf. Instead of braking in a straight line, try and compare it by continuing very light decreasing braking until you are on the apex of the turn and begin accelerating. After a while it might become habit. Funny, I had similar discussion regarding heel-toe brake and throttle on Corvette forum. Many drivers with manual shift cars have never tried it. I made the comment that being a motorcyclist a safe rider is always rev matching to downshifts whereth braking or not.

Just got notice that the kit was sold for $425. A good deal for someone with a black bike and a set of mirrors. And whatever else....

video advises braking on the straight and not trail braking. jus' sayin'

I want 1 -one- for the tank bag.

I did make offer that was rejected. I got this reply from the seller when I asked about the mirrors (I only wish I knew what is supposed to be there): Sorry, I can't find the mirrors. Everything else seems to be there
