Just a note of gratitude...

[Forden]

Seems like a fair bit of contention and disquiet in the forums today, so I just wanted to a positive note and say thanks to all the generous members who have helped this newbie navigate many details of his new love! The tuning is ongoing, but it's getting there, and I'm headed out for a sunny coastal ride shortly.

My goal is to get the bike back to original as much as possible (pods excepted, sorry!). And to keep it running (and in my garage) as long as I can ride it.

Any of you in the vicinity of Ipswich, MA, hit me up anytime.

Cheers.
Mike

The folks here are generally a helpful and generous bunch with a passion for motorcycles, especially GSs. I imagine the thread you’re referring to, the one about Black vs. Gay neighbors will likely get moved to the Vortex, where it belongs, if it belongs at all. Good work. Keep it up.

Cool, keep us posted!

The forum is occasionally rocked by a few black sheep, but generally the mods are doing a good job reigning them in. Afterwards, motorcycle discussions continue.
The thread Rich is referring to has already been moved to the vortex or deleted. I hadn't had the chance to check it out, but OP is on my ignore list anyway, so I guess I haven't missed much.

Ipswich Massachusetts? It looks like a beautiful part of the country. Humm, I'm looking for a 2022 summer time ride destination.🌞

Glad you got the info you were needing, seems you're doing great. Just wondering why the pods if most all else is orig...The good is the bike stuff, ...All the other stuff nobody will see if they just don't push those buttons.

[Forden]

Well, I inherited pods and just invested in new K&N's, jets etc. I figured finding a stock airbox would wind up just as expensive and need rehabbing to boot. But maybe I'll get around to it at some point. Lord knows tuning the pilot circuits is driving me a little batty.

Ipswich is definitely a beautiful place, as is all of the MA north shore from Cape Ann to the NH border. When I'm not wrenching I'm digging in the dirt to grow things, digging in the estuarial mud for clams and oysters, or chasing striped bass in my little boat... Obsessing over the bike has definitely cut into my fishing time!

[rphillips]

Completely understand... With the orig air box, R&R carbs is a real PITA, but there's no tuning nightmare as you seem to be going thru now...Hang in there, you'll get it.
