The adventure begins where your plans fall through.

Who has the Valve Shim kit? I thought about doing this myself also but....

Does anyone have the Jet/Shim kit or a K&N filter for a 3rd gen.?

I might have to break away from my other bikes and head over for a carb job.

He needs to get on the ball and replace it, how are you going to loan it to me.  :-? :-P

I just PMed 2fs2ns for his kit but on further research you might have bought these from him or he returned for a credit.

I WOULD LOVE TO COME HANG WITH YOU GUYS, BUT IT WOULD TAKE ME 5 TO 6 HOURS TO MAKE THE TRIP FROM LOWELL, THEN ON MY WAY DOWN I WOULD HAVE TO RIDE THE TALIMENA DRIVE AND THEN RIDE AROUND BROKEN BOW AREA SO I WOULD PROBABLY GET LOST THEN-  HA! HA!   IN ALL SINCERITY THOUGH, I DO PLAN ON GETTING DOWN THERE SOMETIME TO HANG OUT AND HELP EVERYONE.  HAVE FUN AND KEEP IT ON 2 WHEELS....  LANCE

Wow Greg, I actually may be able to make that session.  It's usually hard to fit them in my oil field schedule, but I'm scheduled off that day.  I'd need some good directions from the Shreveport direction.  Anyone in the Tyler area looking to try and make the wrench session?  If so I'll meet ya on I-20 and ride in to Gregs with ya's.

Greg-
Called DD Wed. AM.  The person in shipping(?) was waiting on the K&N filter to come in from Cali., to ship the springs, shims, and filter together.  I asked him to go ahead and ship the springs and shim kit, ASAP.  I will call Fri. AM to make sure they are in-transit.

Greg Cothern

Sounds good Brad.

John be good to have ya here!  I am just a bit off of I-20, take FM 740, hang a left under the overpass and follow it to Crestview, turn right!  I am the next possible left, Stacie Ln.  Middle of the road on the right.

NOW if you dont want to take the interstate we can get you here many other ways!

Greg-
DD called me today, said the springs & shims were shipped Wed eve.  I should get them by next Wed., so I plan to be at your home next Sat. AM.

I may come to it. I still have one fork that i need to fully change the oil in and replace the stripped out drain plug from our last attempt.
I have two of the plugs and copper seats and only need one, so we will have a spare if needed.
Once you go dark you dont want to park!

I would love to come.  I will probably pull up with mine on a trailor.  I have not gotten it out on the road yet and want someone to help me check it out to make sure it is ready.  This will give me a chance to have it looked at and put together  a to do list to get it ready.  Will this be feasable or should I just come and watch?

Looks like I may be able to make it also, look forward to seeing everyone there. Don't have anything to work on since I already have the J&M radio installed and the air horn should be complete by then, just need to make a mounting bracket for it so I can complete the install.
