Very Nice bike, sounds good, but loud!
Bare
Bike looks and sounds fantastic!
Good luck with it.
Chuck.
Thanks Chuck and Bare! God knows I have a lot of hard work and money into it. I'm very proud of what I've created. It's definitely 1 of my finest works to date and I still have a hard time believing it is actually MINE and not a customers.
What problem are you having with the advance unit? ERC
ERC - Ever since I've been wrenching on this thing and playing with the timing the auto-advance has been hanging up. At 1 point I pulled the timing cover, replaced the springs and soaked the living piss out of the timing unit with PB Blaster. From the points end (now the electronic trigger and magnetic rotor) the rotor will most times move, but not freely and stick, sometimes at full advance causing the bike to diesel when I shut it down. But it doesn't always hang up. Sometimes when I check it, it moves freely and returns to the retarded position as normal. I did seem today when I was riding it remained free and it never dieseled when I shut it down.
And speaking of today...
Took the bike out on a side highway after some errands today and opened her up at about 3/4 throttle. Hit an indicated 93 mph and still had a LOT of motor to go! Unfortunately I ran into traffic and had drop back down to 60, but the bike felt REAL good out there. I think I just about got this baby dialed in. Can't wait for all the rides to come!
And I can't help but mention again how much I love this exhaust set up. This bike sounds like nothing I've ever heard before and I turn heads everywhere I go.
