I'm pretty happy.with the way things went, really no issues.here's some pic's of the the finished project and some tight fits. In the pic's check the front left rocker box and the frame thiers an indentation in the frame for it to fit it's right at the top of the indentation. the fit on the hogged out vello cover, I decided to make it work, it didn't come out to bad. Also the air cleaner and tank just touches put a piece of rubber tape just not to mess the tank up you wouldn't be able to se it on the bottom of the tank but preventions say's it all. talk to you all when I change the oil at 500 mis. unless something weird happens ........................later..................... ...........strickt9Rob.

The forecast really not looking good this week.So imight pull the lower legs put new seals and check the bushing's I've got a new set Metzler's to put on also so untill it gets to at least 45 degrees I'll try and keep busy.but your right if it was 60 degrees I could stick to the lowlands and get it done in 2day's but that cold takes a toll in these old bones.......................later strickt9rob. | |

It's pretty nasty soundin. I pulle the plugs and the look ghreat nice even light tan color I'm really stoked with this motor. I've m noticed everything gets out of you way though bird's critter's deer everything is scurrying out of the way.lol put I 150 mi's on it scince I dumped the oil at 60 mi's.Have to send some better pic's soon.........later
