Cold blooded..,NAAA
I'm here in Montana and it was about 15Β° thus morning. Supposed to get to about 40 today so I figgured I'd give the ol boy a shot. Fired right up in 3 cranks. This has been one of the best machines I've ever owned. It's only failed to start for me twice and both times it was my own damn fault. Can't wait to test him out as the weather gets colder, mabe I'll find out ware the ol boy just finally say "screw u....I'm staying in bed".... Thank u all and happy holidays79 XS11 F

Started the cleanup for the cabling in the front. Going for the minimalist look for the gauges. I pulled out the cables that I didn't need and then re-wrapped it in braided expandable sleeving. I found it odd when removing the original sleeves that is was all very damp.... this thing has been sitting in my office for two months now and should have been bone dry but as I was pulling it through the bike, water dripped out of the end of the cabling sleeve.
Pulled the clutch cover off and backed out the bolts and put them all back to 7 lbs. Started cleaning up the outside of the clutch case. Went to home depot and picked up some buffing wheels.79F with two parts bikes (78E and a 79F). Ran it for the first season all the way through the summer. more work to do this Spring!

Bentely stands bike-covered in man-cave. Just have to walk by it stealthly so as not to wake it up.81H Venturer1100 "The Bentley" (on steroids) 97 Yamaha YZ250(age reducer) 92 Honda ST1100 "Twisty"(touring rocket) Age is relative to the number of seconds counted 'airing' out an 85ft. table-top.

Replaced the spark plug cables When messing with them I found that three of the four cables were very loose...the hard sheath coating was broken on them. so I have replaced the cables...and used hot glue to stop every thing from moving around.79F with two parts bikes (78E and a 79F).

[QUOTE=BA80;478171]Great Ranger loaded and ready to go to work with me tomorrow.
It's the slow time of year and I can get it squared away and ready to sell before spring.
Brakes are hanging and carbs need cleaning. The rest is pretty much cosmetic.
Hi Greg,
That is a really clear windshield
