    Ain't that the truth? Every bike is a never-ending project.
    1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

    2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after.

      No, never. I lose interest and sell them, closely followed by buying a different one, or just buy another when I feel like it and then sell the old one I'll miss the least. Always will be buying another one. But I prefer the problem child, the closer to perfect they get, the less interest I have in them. Generally the plan is to buy it for a song, get it safe and reliable, ride it until I'm tired of it, then make it pretty and sell it to someone. Sometimes I just can't get motivated to finish up the last few finishing touches, I'd rather tear into something big on the non runner I bought last night.

      I'm trying to slow down and keep them longer, only buy the ones I really want, but it's tough.

        Thanks.

        Thanks for the info in this post. Learned more reading this than any other thread. Was wondering why I would ever go to a shorter link or moth ball my nylon rear sprocket. All I needed to keep my 630 and nylon set up is a 3/8 front offset sprocket.

        Will now be putting the 630 set up in a box and going with 530. Info provided here was much better than the just do it advice I've gotten in the past.
