    Bill was over yesterday; his bike looks real nice. The chrome covers almost make it look like a harley. The combo looks good for an L. I might have to say something though if he gets leather tassles .


    Anyway we pulled plugs to compare. His bike was running super clean after the 150 mile trip over here. I pulled my pluggs and they looked pretty rich. Turns out mine were 145 and not 147.5 like I thought. Also the needles were already at 3 1/2 from the bottom. We moved them all to 4 1/2 from the bottom and the things still runs well. Will probably pick up some 142.5's and ty and drop down on the outers depending on how it looks.

    Seems I have richened up since my temperature has dropped so much from the sprayer and serier R/R. Temp gauge never gets over 210 degF and around here it is usually closer to 180-190 degF MAX.

    Also I did not completely drain the oil but still had a 1/2-3/4 quart in when I pulled the stator. I topped it back off and we did about a 20 mile quick ride. OIL STILL LOOKS LIKE HONEY.

      Things are starting to seal.
      This engine has gobs of torque.
      I opened it up last night after I got off the freeway by my house, well all I can say is I was grinning from ear to ear.

                I'm hoping for 140.
                Am I dreaming?

                        Still working on it. The mobile guy can't make it, so I'm gettin ahold of the other guy with a dyno in his shop.

                          First start up I run it at 3-4k for about ten minutes.
                          Then I ride it. Not too hard but after 500 miles, the first oil change and valve adjustment look out.
                          I'm still taking it easy on it.
