rode it again, from the weather forecast it will be the last for 2020. Exactly what is the wind chill at 70 mph @ 30*F?

Looks like 9 degrees.

 

That would explain why my toes started getting cold...

 

I spent 24 years in the Navy and when I would go on cruise I just pushed the bike in a corner of the garage, filled it with gas, filled it with oil, unhooked the battery and covered it up. Six to twelve months later I would break it out, change the oil, hook up the battery and go. Never had any problems.

 

Pre-Ethanol gas, we did the same in Maine for 6 months. Fill the tanks, if it had a radiator, drain it. Unheated garage, removed the battery and placed it in the basement.

 

Istalled a low profile snail car horn and got rid of that pathetic pancake horn.also changed out the auto meter gauge clamp holder for the speedo for the dkcustoms bracket.well made and worth every penny.also rode over 130 miles today.bout as much wind gusts as i could stand

 

We can still get non-ethanol gas pretty easily around here. Same thing - I just make sure the tank is full, and charge the battery if it needs it. Cranks up in the spring and runs fine, no gas treatment needed.

 

Clean ride!

 

You're right! I shouldn't have said "radial", just "modern".

 

Installed the F A G 7200B throw out bearing today.
Not hard, took me longer to actually find the
appropriate size large & small nose snap-ring pliers....

Pics are the stock bearing as-is right out of the bike, not cleaned up yet....




We'll have to see if the clutch pull is better, it was late afternoon when I started &
dark/cold when I got done.

Personally, when I installed an SKF thrust bearing in the clutch, I didn't notice any difference in clutch pull effort.
