What did you do to your Wing today ?

[mcgovern61]

Wind and buffeting testing on a smaller windshield. (I know, it is just another excuse to just keep on riding!) :hihihi:

 

[mcgovern61]

Installed a nice new handlebar clock! :yes:

 

[Denver]

Very nice :good:

 

[brianinpa]

Finished giving the '84 the once over getting it ready to load it into a trailer for a trip to Texas.

I like the clock, nice addition.

I got tired of always having a low battery, so I charged it up and put on my tender I bought a couple of years ago.

Finished up the rear shock install and washed it. It is now heaps easier to get the Rats Nest onto the centre stand even without a block of wood under the rear tire. :good:

Low air light wire grounded

Grounded the low air in the rear suspension light as per Gerry's instruction. We are having a bit of rain ATM so I am anxious for a test ride of my new old rear shocks. :yes:

Borrowed some gas from the bike to put in the Jeep on I40. I guess my jeep uses more gas when pulling a trailer.

The worst part... I was at the exit ramp and could see my gas station where I ran out of gas. I only needed 1 Pepsi bottle full of gas to get me there. :shock:

:doh:

I gotta ask...why were you towing the bike?

 

[brianinpa]

Taking my son to Texas. When my Jeep gets to Texas, it becomes his Jeep and I need to get home... so the bike is in the trailer with all of his stuff. I am taking 8 days to get home, so it should be a great ride. I tried to talk my wife into riding along, but she is allergic to heat and wants nothing to do with the ride.

Finally had the time to change the timing belts. The Wing has 38,541 on the odometer and when I got it opened up I found these. Look's like originals to me but who know's. I also took the time and set the clearance on the valves. Added some ATF (for the first time- after reading all the threads) to a fresh tank of fuel.

Took it for a short 20 mile ride and wow what a difference!!

The fun starts... riding without worrying that an old belt may break. Enjoy!

Catherine's. I left welland ( got family there ) this morning for niagra, ny. then ran I-90 to I-80, made it home at 17:00

Yet the old ones almost always look like new or at the very least very serviceable.
