Man, I'm sweating just thinking about riding out there. Nice looking 750! Did you drop a mirror on a dirt road? I had a maddening ride where mine kept coming loose, thought for sure I'd lose it. Every ten seconds I had to grab and hand tighten it till I could stop and grab a wrench.Roger

LOL .. No when I bought it the right mirror was cracked and I was worried about throwing broken glass at my face. I usually ride with a helmet but .. honestly not always so broken pieces of glass was not an appealing thought. I have new mirrors supposed to arrive tomorrow. I am still working at making this as reliable as my old self can handle. There is an absolutely gorgeous run here that involves some 16 miles of hard pack gravel and dirt. It is a ride I wish I could share with the world its so awesome but .. it can shake stuff loose!Man, I'm sweating just thinking about riding out there. Nice looking 750!

Soon as I think this bike is reliable enough .. I am taking that ride!! I have done it about 8 times on 3 other motorcycles. Unfortunately .. Tow trucks wont pick you up out there so if you fail .. you are in trouble! Think 100+ degrees, snakes, coyotes and javelina. Of the three the javalina scare me most. A few cars and other bikes make the run so you should be able to find a ride .. you hope!
But your bike will sit there until you figure out a way to get it.Last edited by Guest; 05-21-2017, 06:39 PM.Comment

Back on the road, after the steering bearing and fork seal project.
Left the lowers off for now so easier to adjust the spot lights and need to replace tach cable.,
And back to my "vane" pictures.
