Thanks Bill.

The 115 Main Jets arrived today!!!

I have everything for this Saturday's Install. Got some more engine cleaning to do tonite...basically removing all the grit/oil from the front fins.

Oil pan is on-place for transport and then covering the exhaust ports before I load the bike on Thursday.

Thanks again for the assist, I appreciate it!

With the 115 jets, expect it to stop accelerating about 4,500-5,200 rpm. ;)
 
Speed!!!

You're leaning me towards the 117.5s. I have them...I might as well use them, huh? I think going to 120s would really suck up alot of gas.

Let's see how much my fuel economy suffers going from 112.5 to 117.5. :|


What have I got to lose...except blue pipes/running rich. :eek:

Umm blue pipes means too lean lol. Guess if you want to install the 117.5s we can. Thought I had wrote down what I installed in mine, guess we could pull an outside bowl off my bike and check.

Yeah, I was leaning towards the 117.5s. If I need to swap out to 115s, at least I'll know how to do it with your training.

Saturday Maintenance

Saturday Maintenance

First, let me start by saying, "Bill, you are a great friend!"

Got the 4-1 pipes installed and Bill R2'd the shocks while I went looking for the spring that goes on the oil filter. The steel insert worked out great! A new oil pan gasket and there are no leaks to report.

The challenge of the day were the Carbs & Airbox clamps! Pics are forthcoming.

Bill, you are the man! I'm grateful to have met you through this site. Your OJT in removing the Carbs gave me the confidence needed to do it myself.

Sorry the right fork/shock squirted all that oil on you--that was like a crime scene! And then the left had no air pressure. My forks feel great now...not all squishy/noisy as they were before.

Sweet!!!! Looking forward to seeing how it looks!

Will attempt at loading/updating this thread tonite.

Weekend at Bill's - 29-30Mar2014

Weekend at Bill's - 29-30Mar2014

Alright...here goes!

Copy/Paste link from PB then writing a description:

Shocks installed by Bill...I was out at the Hardware store looking for a spring that goes in the oil filter cover that I misplaced. When I returned, Bill had these babies installed.




Picture before we removed the carbs...notice the hose pipes on the secondary airbox. Those clamps would reveal something later on...




Look at these pipes! I wish the engine was cleaner but that's next year's project.

Weekend at Bill's #2

Weekend at Bill's #2

Moar pics with explanations...

Turns out, the OEM bolts that went on the dual exhaust are too long for my new V&H pipes. Another trip to the hardware store and Bill eval'd the situation and got me the correct bolts.


Carbs off...ready for the 117.5 Main Jets...





For some reason, there were rubber washers between the 112.5 Main Jets on the last rebuild. Bill thought it dumb that it was that way but removed them when the 117.5s were installed.



The inlet boots were not securing to the carbs properly...turns out the hose clamps covered the indented area where the correct size clamps needed to be located.



Bill to the rescue! Guess what he had in his Parts Bin...the OEM clamps!



Bill helped me remove the carbs the first go around...when it got to removing the bracket for the choke, there was this piece that goes through the cable that somehow eluded him...it fell in between the cylinder head. I noticed it when I was looking for the fuel clamp that goes over the petcock. It was a good thing I lost that piece otherwise, I would have never thought to look for anything in that area. Not sure if you can see it in this pic...Bill was upset with himself that he lost it!



Here's the crime scene...apparently, there was a lot of compressed air in the right fork...so when Bill loosened the bolt, it exploded everywhere!

#3 Weekend at Bill's

#3 Weekend at Bill's

#2 Moar Pics

We had to remove the carbs a second time because there was fuel leaking in the center of the carbs. The culprit: this fuel line needed to be clamped. I removed the carbs the second time around...Bill said the first one was for me to learn from him and I think I did pretty good for my first time.



Here's Bill sitting on my bike after all tasks completed. He was happy for me that we had a successful weekend!



Went to Bill's so he could get washed up before our ride!





Bill's bike is so beautiful!


My baby's new pipes & shocks look and work great! Thanks Bill!!!



Final shot is me sitting on my bike. Success thanks to you Bill!!! You are an awesome Dude!!!

Good on Bill for doing so much work and getting into the line of fire for you. :p
Is the speedo cable missing, too short or routed some other way as it does not appear to be going through the rubber loop at the rear of the fender. :confused:
