Default 900+ mile ride this weekend

Took out my "rebuilt" 04 SE duece on a ride up to Hastings MN, then across to Appleton WI, and back home to Waterloo IA. Bike never missed a beat and everything felt like it should... I'm guessing all the repairs are good to go.

A couple of my before and after pics.....

Yeah, it was a last minute push to have it ready in time. I actually bought it wrecked, so I don't know the history of the bike.... But it all checked out and went as good as I hoped...Even ran it hard a few times too...LOL

Yeah, sounds like you did a great job! I bought mine in a box about 3 years ago too. I know every inch of this bike and I'm sure you know yours too!! LOL
Enjoy and ride safe.
