Hey Tim I bought the parts to do a clutch push rod swap out. Have you or anyone else done this? I see a "how to " on Mikesxs.net

So I did the clutch push rod swap out. The bushing was a little pain but I got everything swapped out and, what a difference in shifting. No issues finding neutral. Total time was about 45 min

I did some updates to the clutch. Swapped out EBC plates and new steel plates. I also went with the red 70lb clutch springs. I'm waiting on a replacement hydro clutch, due to the slave cylinder not wanting to cooperate. I can't wait to see is the is an improvement. I was getting some slippage in 3rd and 4th gear

Anyone got a good idea for a smaller front fender? I can always buy the motolana one on ebay.

gotta be a cheaper way around that - but it does look good.

Plus I'd have to mount it to something, maybe the fork brace.

Last year I was on my way home and the bike started smoking alot. I noticed that the smoke was primarily coming from the rectifier/regulator area. I immediately lost all electronic power. Here would be the cause of that smoke.

You let the blue smoke out. They never work after that. A had the same thing with a brand new DYNA pickup recently. Puff of blue smoke and when it was gone, no more spark. Funny how that works :)
 
Did a little grinding on the bike today. We got a little snow lat night. ...
