From what I observed from the video these two Harley riders were making an attempt to stay ahead of those Sport bikes following them. Riding over their heads on two touring bikes. Back to Clint Eastwood syndrome as in, "limitations", they usually win out over luck ever time.
"Damn Man", This is the only thing you can find to post. How am I ever going too unsee this .... it'll be a long time before I ever open another one of your threads!!!!!!
Don't have any problems with the gear box or keeping my muffler on. Worst clunky gear box by far was my 14 Polaris Indian Chieftain I had for a very short while.
I rode a nice 06 Yamaha Venture enjoyed the top end power installed gauges lowered it did a lot of updates of which all improved handling and comfort. Right now I'm riding a couple of Harley's one a Superglide an a Ultra SE. Thinking about getting down to one bike. Probably going to sell the 08 Harley Ultra just hard to let go it's getting a little heavy at 71 with two people aboard.[ATTACH
You know if you've checked the main grounds and got good contacts there your ignition switch could just be the culprit. I've heard of several members here having them changed out. Not a big deal to change out less than a hour job.
Don't care for all that black you sold the best looking Venture. I'm sure you know or heard this, " Opinions are like butt holes everybody got one". Chrome is my favorite color with black, orange, red elect.
Been using OuickSilver 20-50 in my Harley's for the last 5 or 6 years with excellent results. It actually drains out thicker than Harley's Syn-3 pours in fresh.
Don't start, stop or turn around on gravel just drive thru till you get back on pavement. Fix your bike and enjoy the road ahead. Also, add Carbon1 stiffners to those crash bars up front. Yamaha went lite on those front crash bars.
I had a 71 Triumph Bonneville identical to your friends in the mid 70's had no
Idea it was capable of 200 plus. Modified mine for the flat track love the sound of those twin cylinders in a hard pull coming out of a tight turn. Tuff motorcycles.....
Be careful with the chrome chevron piece or better yet get someone who has removed it before . Reason the little tabs are easily broken---just use little pressure and work from center out.
