      You are my hero!!!!!!! I ain't dropping these beers. I got a half case of homemade apricot ale. A six pack feels like a whole lot more. I'm guessing the alcohol content is a mite higher than normal.

        you talked me into one. im sitting here with a real cold bud longneck. thinking of how sick everyone who sees these post are going to be. i picked it up at a garage sale for twenty hauled it home on a trailor. put the ign. cover back on. the valve cover back on the plugs back in and started to clean the carbs but when i open the lid on the first carb the diaphram was folded over so i reseated it put the carbs on and went for a ride. paid 50 more for a new battery and air filter element than i did the whole bike. and other than cosmetic scratches on the tank and a very small dent in the front fender and a very small crack on one side cover shes mint. picked up and sissybar-luggage rack from a buddy who had the exact same bike he totalled years ago for another 30.

          Someone is parting out a 650. Might have that front fender you are looking for (another post).

            the plates on the bike were expired as of may of 1988 so i figure the bike had sat for at least 14 years it only had 6300 actual miles on it when i bought it i have put anothe 1500 on it since then.now i want to get it cross country reliable and ride like tomorrow is the end.i also want to replace all that is slightly less than perfect on her.

                You'll get her running to your specs soon enough. Just keep plugging along with her.
