well i sold the 86 and just put my 04 on the road , had the rear wheel off to install the new fender and now there is a whine from belt , checked tension, align etc. and all is ok, bike had 5 km on it did not drive it at all only today for the first time so i dont know if it was there before. is this normal for a new bike ? again thanks to all for your help and inspiration.

Sold this beautiful chopper:?

Need pictures of you and your '04.

thanks wd and yes i sold the bobber but i put it back to original before selling, you should be seeing some pics of the 04 very soon, followed the same idea as the 86 but spent more time and made a few changes. went fo a 200km ride yesterday and sure rides better than the 86. thanks again for your help
