Wow!!! Thanks for the reception. I obviously need to live somewhere colder, so I can spend less time on my bike and more time on this forum. uhm....NO! But I appreciate all the response. And to those who've pointed out the photos make the world go round...here are a couple. We haven't had time for beauty shots, mostly because we can't stop long enough....and I am still trying to figure out what the PO did to the bike. SE Heavy Breather and D&D Fat Cat, mini apes....but have no records of any internal changes, tuning etc. As I am leaving the country for a couple of weeks, she'll be with the dealer trying to sort things out. Any suggestions?
