My 2000 bullet 500 four speed kick start is ready to hit the road after 3 1/2 months of modest rejuvination. It was caked with grease, dirt and pretty rusty after living in the PO's open shed.  Pretty shabby looking!:'(

So now I need to know the max speed in the first three gears, no need to worry about 4th  max speed. 8)

Now if Ohio weather will just cooperate, 35F and sunny should do it! :-\

Oh yeah, it does have a KM speedo. ;)

Should not need any break-in, about 4,500 miles on original speedo. 23KM on new speedo.
