Hope the weather holds out for you Hoist. Would love to hear your feedback on the new ride in motion!

Well it did mb! Bike's home now!!! :huepfenjump3: :huepfenjump3: :huepfenjump3:

It rides unbelievable now. You'd never know you're riding a solid mount! You think Traxxion's great on an FLH, try it on a street bike!!! Holy crap! AWESOME!!! :2vrolijk_21:

A few lil glitches to workout with the Autometer tach/speedo. Needs to be calibrated on the dyno. He said after it's broken in. Clutch needs to be adjusted again. Vern left the cable w/o much freeplay on purpose til I get a few miles on. If the cable stretches, it'll help, but we'll adjust it in the spring. Hear a lil rattling from around the engine somewhere. He'll find that too later on. Right now, I'm just happy she's done and home where she belongs!!! ;)

Here's a coupla pics of her home, and a few more for Miker of my '85 FXWG with my '99 FXR3, Joy!

The Wide Glide, Joy, and the Pro Street all tucked in for now!

That'll do it here for awhile. I'll get a ride report after I spend some time on her. That might be awhile though with winter and all. So I hope you enjoyed following along with this build. I had a blast and am happy with the final product! Just what I had in mind for my REAL bike!!! :huepfenjump3: :huepfenjump3: :huepfenjump3:

Thanks Pete! Appreciate that! You know I'll be watching that weather real close and getting time on her whenever I can. I'd love to have her broken in before I get Cybil back. Tough breaking in 2 bikes at 1 time! ;)

You are far more religious about adhering to a break in procedure with a modern engine than I am.  Even with the little I do though it's an annoying and slightly frustrating period.  Two at once would suck.  Yet another reason I'm glad the SERG only got its cam case opened and heads lifted off.  Nothing to break in :2vrolijk_21: .

HeHe!!! But never impossible! Just gotta keep switching back and forth. As I let 1 cool down, I'll take the other out. Do that back and forth a few days and before you know it, BAM, they're both done!!! ;)
