Yeah and I am stuck on a boat in Corpus sure would have been fun have a great Day everyone!!!!

[Greg Cothern]

I am up and ready to open the doors!   

[L J VFR]

You guys have a great time, and don't work too hard.     I'm stuck at work until 3pm today.  Oh, and it is 37 degrees outside!!    I hope to get to one of these sessions someday, and get help on new front fork springs!!

[Greg Cothern]

Tell me when you want to do it and I will be ready!

[Greg Cothern]

Had a good turnout even if the weather tried to keep folks away with its cold!

My brother Kelly was the first to arrive, then Jim Tindall, followed by Lee Junot (she is a coworker whom just bought a Rebel 250), Ray Johnson from the coastal region, Greg Oehler & wife, Jim Turner, Len Avert, and Dave Shireman.

We tackled 2 carb jets/shims and then lunch at The Cottin Gin!  I got to ride Len's DarkSide equipped Magna....The car tire is pretty neat!

[roboto65]

So did ya wake Kellys bike up a little for him!!!

[Greg Cothern]

Yeah we jetted and shimed the carbs, he traded his K&N air filter to Jim for his stock unit.  I did not get a chance to ride it, but hope too soon for comparisons sake.
I did get some seat time on a mostly stock Magna vs the Project 96 and could tell a good difference in throttle response and acceleration.

Greg;
   Any chance we could be a little more verbose on this subject??

[Jumbobret]

Is there enough time and enough tools to do triple tree bearings at the next session? Since I have never done these bearing I'm not sur what it takes. I've got head shake upon 45mph decel.
