For all the problems I've had with the moneypit, I can finally say persistance does pay. Left Oak Ridge at about 7am friday morning, with the thought that this trip will make or break her. My brother and I headed for hinesville Ga to see my son. He was on my goldwing, and I on the moneypit. The first thing we hit was the dragon, as he had never been across it before. We stayed on us129 all the way to athens Ga. from there ran ga15 down to wrightsville, then ga57 to glennville, then ga 196 to hinesville. the only bad part of the whole ride was low flying clouds on the dragon made the road wet, and no chance for pics. Remember they were racin in atlanta this weekend, so didn't want to get near there. Came back thru atlanta yesterday as he had to work this morning. 450 miles at 80 plus. Neither old bike missed a beat, I wasnt worried about the wing, but was a little apprehensive about the vr. Anyhow, 954 miles over the weekend, and both performed really well. I want to thank all the guys on this site for their advice. without you, this was never possible. And by the way, I made this trip after having my appendix out 2 weeks ago.:thumbsup2::thumbsup2:

I would just like to say thank you to everybody that gave advice and suggestions concerning the clutch on the moneypit. And the winner is.....MBrood! After reading everyone else's advice-he raised an interesting point. Knowing that I had just put a kit in the master cylinder, including the rod that works the thing, he started talking about aftermarket cylinders and handles. That got me to thinking- I have a black brake handle, but the clutch handle is polished metal, and when I bought the bike there was a broken black handle in the trunk. He said that if I had put in an OEM pushrod between the handle and cylinder-that the rod may be too long- filed off 1/8" from the end that goes into the handle, and no more slip. It seems that you always have to have a little handle free play to ensure no pressure in order for the return to be free. After filing down the rod, I've logged about 700 miles on the bike, 200 yesterday at 90+ temps. To quote Forrest Gump "that's good, one less thing". Thanks again guys.
