More painting done! Allowing for curing times and when we have time to work on it, we ought to be finished about a week from Friday

I’m back and better than ever Restoring the same model bike you guys helped me with, back in 2019. Some of the names I remember from back then, if my memory serves me correctly:Venturous Randy, Cowpuc, skydoc just to name a few. Anyway, current bike has not been started since 2009. It was stored in a shed so that’s good news! I did choose to go with a single carb this time. will keep you updated. I’m almost ready to fire her up

I have visited here a few times, because I was having an issue with my side stand, and how far my RSV was leaning. I was happy to see, and read, some good advice and directions on what to check. Ended up spending the money and replaced the side stand and nut/bolt/collar. I can not tell you how much better it is now!! No more center stand overuse for me! At 62 and a whopping 165lbs, pulling my bike up from a hard lean was quite the challenge. I had almost concluded that I needed a lighter bike, but hated the idea of letting her go. Much better now!

I was having to turn it pretty quick to the right and wrestle it up at the same time to get it up. I found a discussion on here where someone else had a problem with their bike leaning. Somebody said to measure from the center of the choke knob to the floor and it should be 24 inches. Mine was 21 1/2 inches. Now it’s dead on 24 and it’s almost effortless to stand it up. Like someone shaved 500 lbs off my bike. Loving it 😎

Is it just me or does anyone else find the picture upload feature user unfriendly? Using my phone I'm finding it next to impossible to upload a photo. I've been trying for three days to upload a photo onto a New thread. I GIVE UP.

You should start a new thread and keep us posted on a weekly basis.

Looking good!

Some pics of my new project:)

I have not been able to up load any pic unless I go through Photobucket first.
