Got the clutch cover on, sanded the ugly clear coat off, need to hit it with the wet 1200 grit a while, its gonna look much better,
Got the head cover on, been messin with the ex valves, Im tired, I quit,, gonna sit & listen to Noory a while,
If anyone has replaced their stock rear signals & would be willing to sell them, it needs them,,Epoxy is a great friend, but I am willing to ride a bike with a splint on the stalk,, not everyone else IS,,
Gonna hafta get a battery,, I guess,, I mean, even a Big Crank wont survive being dead for 2 years, will it?

Re: Makin progress Reply #4 - 03/16/12 at 22:30:09 IIRC, I paid a bit more for this one about 30 years ago.,.It IS made in the USA, tho..I may just grab me a fresh one,, Is that a good technique for saving this battery?

Do a series of shorter charge periods w/higher amps from the charger you have. That will tell you just as well that lead-acid batteries ain't ni-cads.

Justin, I promise you I got a splint on both rear stalks! Grin

It was 82 degrees in N mississippi today, so I took a 70 mile rounder to see my aunt and uncle. Harleys are blooming everywhere and they all waved. Nobody mentioned the splints.
