Have an arrival date of February 2nd for the Rats Nest. The ship is set to depart on the 17th of January. Can't believe it will be 5 months since I last rode the Rats Nest, should be a good test of my cheap AGM battery..

That's awesome! Should be a nice reunion! :clapping: :clapping: :clapping:

Today, after spending $300 for an ignition module for Mama's Cad, and installing it, I fired the Wing up. First time it's been started in a month or so. I let it run for a while as I was picking up tools and stuff, and noticed a puddle under the left side head. I assumed it was condensation from the head pipe....until I smelled raw fuel. Dang front carb on left side leaking like a :sensored: . :rant:
Dangit.....I wuz planning on riding next week....

 

[joedrum]

maybe it something simple ...I hope so .. :shock:

carb trouble :cheeky:

maybe a little :builder: around might make it stop :mrgreen:

Sanded saddlebag doors for the 1200.

I took off the plug wire cover, and carb cover from the side that was leaking, ready to give it sum lurvin with a mallet. :builder: Fired it up, and.....no leak..dry as a bone. :headscratch:
Imma guessing it had sit so long before runnin it yesterday that the bowl gasket had dried out on that carb, and it leaked until it swelled up a little. Absolutely dry today....yipppppeeeee!! :yahoo:
While I wuz at it, jest fer grins, I checked my runnin voltage. 14.5 v idling. k: Strange thing is, if I turn on my driving lights, the voltage goes UP to just a tad over 15v...at idle. Guess that new stator and Reg/Rec are doin their jobs. :yes:

 

[Steve83]

Excellent!

 

[Winger 82]

Think I'll be takin the battery out of her for the winter :ahem: :ahem: :ahem:

 

[Omega Man]

I rarely think painted fork tubes ads to the look of a bike unless it's part of a total scheme.

~O~

Brian, google "Flitz", it is a product that will polish those fork tubes right up! (After you get the clearcoat off with oven cleaner)

 

[brianinpa]

I've seen it before, but that requires additional work to keep after it. I want to remind you I am a low maintenance gloss black type of a person. :Egyptian: :mrgreen:

I know what you mean - I am just at that point where I am undecided how far I want to go with this.

I am leaning towards keeping the bike gray, the engine it's silver color, and painting all the chrome black except the upper fork tubes and the engine crash bars. Trouble is, I am bidding on some chrome extras on fleebay right now that might change that direction.
