Began work on the C5 after having had quite enough of trying to run with a sidecar.
As good as it looked, best speed of 40mph (45 with a tail wind) just doesn't cut it with me. EJK was worthless with the car, dropping to a 17t sprocket helped in lower gears, but I could still never get it into 4th without being constantly in acceleration mode. Seriously sucked the fuel, and I believe has contributed to a worn out fuel pump, and possibly the ignition coil. No way I could make a 600 mile trip with this combination. Back to the 18T, and remaining parts on order.
Now that the car has been removed from the bike it runs worse than ever. Even without the car the best I can do is 50mph.
So it get fixed, cleaned and polished, and traded up.
I have my eye on a 2017 T-120, as I need to be able to cruise (with the sidecar) at 60-65 on the long trips for which it is intended. No HD for me.
I still have the '06 Electra, and as much as I've invested ($$$ and sweat) it STAYS!
Hey, gotta have a bike for the much-loved "alone time", and the Electra really fills that void well!
