  1. 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

  2. Had to get our main man help me with the picture uploads. Wondering if he ever sleeps… I was looking at the Goldwings, and I know some of us have them, but I couldn’t get over the fairing not turning with the front wheel. I love the fact that the RSV does, so I’m enjoying the “Silverwing”.

  5. Update on the bike. It Runs! Buttttt like dominoes there is more to come hahaha. I purchased one of the Ignitech v88 units that are currently on eBay. Includes the proper harness 👍for the bike. It took what seems like forever to get here I did ALOT of online reading and figuring to come up with a set of tuning parameters that seem to work. There is a set of timing curves vs IAP chart in the manual on this site. I used that and the Ignitech online download manual along with some technical experience and logic to fill out the 10x10 table in the software and then uploaded that to the v8& TCI4. On the bike stand, super smooth and at Ron’s and steady idle. The first light was a total smoke gong show and am surprised the neighbours did not call in the fire trucks. Smoked up probably 2 blocks, LoL. After being parked for yearsNyears two of the four had rings stuck. So was burning ALOT of oil plus whatever was in the pipes from previous owners trying to get it to run. Since that first light-off, I have removed and totally cleaned all carbs, using ultrasonic cleaner. I have gone for test rides racking up about 200km, AND changed the fuel filter 3 times in those runs. there is definitely room for improvement on the timing map, and I am so so soooo happy with the Ignitech and the ability to do that. buuuut, before tuning - obviously have to get the fuel system cleaned up as the next priority. There is a lot of visible crud in the tank. I am trying to decide between removing the tank and shake-up cleaning it, or letting sleeping dogs lie and just keep a stash of fuel filters on hand for frequent changes until it stops running lean.
