Working on the 86 today

[tufftom4]

I finally have time to donate to the 86, I fixed the tail light this morning which wasn't working and synced the carbs now I am replacing the tires. The homemade trailer hitch is a BIG PAIN in the BUTT I think the next time I change the rear I will get rid of it.I am getting to old to keep doing this stuff.

Looking good Tom. I think you are going to have a really nice bike there if you will quit tearing it up.

Thanks for keeping us informed of your progress. Are you still having a problem with the front brake sticking? I believe it was sticking some when I was helping the guy get it in the trailer.

I dont care how tuff you are buddy, but you never....ever....mount it where you did. What did you expect besides PAIN.. You better get rid of it NOW, and not wait till you change the rear, cause the rear will only get worse ...besides i have never heard of rears being changed, or have i been living in the cave too long?

I bought the bike with it that way, and I meant when I change the rear tire again I will get rid of it.

Sure that way I can test out the driver and passenger plugins.

Hey Tom, if you decide you do not want to use the hitch, I might want to see about getting it for my son's 86.

You will be the first person I call if I don't want it.

PS: I sold the hitch in April, so disregard this post.

Hey Buddy! I hope you get that thing back together by the time I get back! That hitch is a lot like the one on my '84. So what was the issue with the tail light, bad bulb or bad connector?

The connection in the fuse box was broke so I put an inline fuse for now until I upgrade to Earls fuse block.
