Back on the road!!!!

[Dano]

After 5 hours of brake bleeding, battery cable change-outs, etc. last night---ending at 2am, got up this morning, looked her over and went "Self-it's time to see what she's got". First thing I learned that without a windshield, you gots to have a helmet on!!!!! Had to take my glasses off because of the wind, but at 65 you still can't see!!!! Got the helmet, took off around the corner, got in the straights, and lit it up!!!!!!! Absolutely smooth thru the power, only took it up to 6k on the tach for right now, NO problems with several hard runs thru 2nd gear, extremely smooth ride up to 85 mph.

Gonna have my neighbor check the synch, then start putting her clothes back on!!!!

 

BTW, sitting in my neighbors driveway, what rode by but a beautiful new Black Cherry RSV!!!!! Chased him down (didn't take long). Come to find out, he's always ridden a Venture (84, 87, 89 and a 99)!!! He didn't know about the website, so look for another Central In. rider to appear on here!!!!!!

 

Time to get back to work!!!!

(Would have done that when I had the motor out and the covers off, didn't have time this year, next winters project to clean and repaint everything!!!!)

(I knew you'd like that one, Dan!!)

 

BTW, after synching her up, that's after we found one of the YICS nipple (there ya go, Dan!) plugs off and fixing that, what a difference!!! Remember, I redid all the exhaust shims cause they were out of tolerance. Man, will she light up the sky now!!! Gotta be carefull of that back tire on take-off now!!!! One test was 95 in third at 6500 rpm!!! And that was within the length of a football field AND takin' it somewhat easy!!!
