I drained the coolant from my new to me '94 (original coolant) preparing to replace all the rubber hoses. Installed the Morley jet kit.

Oh great! another black Vmax for the Brownie Run, I'm going to stand out like a sore thumb and the only one that the cops will be looking for! Nah, they'll never catch me anyways, so no need to worry!

Havent started my bike since week after xmas.....turned a few times then clicked at me laughing. Damn, just got this new battery last year, a wet cell, and kept on a tender...like WTF? Jumped her and rode it 20 minutes. Turns over just fine now. Perhaps the cold engine was a strain for a stock battery? Starts now

Guess I need to get a battery hydrometer to test the cells. If this ones dead, going to a dry or gel cell!

on a tender should have no issues i'd def return it while its still in warranty. also just spend the cash and get an odyssey

i did this today, i think it was gamorg02 that painted his fly-screen ? sorry i had to rip off your idea it looked real good, put too much wheel tint on the polished aluminum though but oh well !

what did you use?

 

[jojo2667]

i used krylon fusion semi gloss black on the back of the plastic screen, this way the front would be glossy but opaque, i used duplicolor "shadow" on the polished aluminum front thing but i put 3 coats and should have only put 2 coats. then it gives you a clear top coat to put on after, man it came out real glossy and smooth, the kit makes chrome and polished metals look like black chrome

very nicely done, i used fusion on the backside too but flat black. that paint is really quite good i like it. i did 3 coats and 3 clearcoats of flat.

i put a little rubber nub so my shift light doesn't wear the paint out. very nicely done!

 

[jojo2667]

thank you for the idea !

 

[CaptainKyle]

Replaced my stator again, got my wheel back from sean with it freshly chrome plated, no more hours of polishing that sucker again...beautiful job by the way with pics to follow once installed.

just got my hac backrest powder coated black.

dropped off my new bellypan, fenders, headlight, and faux cover to the painter, should be ready next week.

Filled it up with oil and started it for the first time since november. sitting in that cold shed all winter, it fired up as soon as i hit the button :clapping:

Now put everything back together next week and i should be golden!

 

[jojo2667]

I took a quick ride on my '89 for the last time. If all goes well, it'll be sold tomorrow afternoon. She was a great bike. I had her 15 years. It was my first and only bike!

Here's a pic of the new horse.
