Opps sorry. 112 miles +100k. Just got back from a 7 day ride to the Grand Canyon and she rolled over on the way home. 4435 miles in 7 days.

 

When she rolled did you tell her how good a girl she is and scratch her belly?

 

Several times.

 

Good. I've been out west several times and it never gets old. Did you get up early one morning and experience the sunrise over the canyon?

 

No. Did get to see it set in NM. Also rode at night through AZ and NM with a full moon and fairly clear skies.

 

Congrats to you and your bike, averaging 630 miles a day is a good ride... Nice color on the bike...

Congrats to you and your bike!

How about telling us what kind of maintenence/mods you did and what kind of repairs she has required over that 100k life? YD

 

I picked it up a couple years ago from a guy up the street. It was his fathers before and purchased locally here in Tampa. Had about 93K and in bad need of maintenance. I've rebuilt the front brakes, rebuilt front forks, new wheel bearings, new petcock, replaced the oil pressure gauge, rear speakers and grills, seals on the trunk and bags, rubber exhaust mounts, installed cruise control adapter on the Mikuni HSR carb. Replaced front motor mount and both stabilizers. About 500 miles before the trip I did a full top end rebuild, installed an Andrews EV13 cam and new rear tire. I have also replaced the battery and installed a Mustang seat. Sooner or later I plan on pulling the swing and replacing bushings. She has a slight *** end wiggle that I can feel at times.

 

Jus' shakin' her ***! She's allowed to do that.....

 

Well done...Mines got over 100k on it too, just did top end. I had the wobble and I replaced the rubber bushes and all is good now. Over winter I am going to make a tue trak thingy.
