not the way to start the new year!!
« on: January 03, 2016, 11:19:07 AM »
set the valves on my hopped up 2004 v11 cafe sport to .002 -.003.
found additional midrange and top end!
installed re-usable silcon gaskets and used new stainless hardware.

also dropped(!) my 2003 ev11 touring in the driveway thnx to the spectacular design of the kickstand... i helped a little :).
it was a slow drop on the LH side, bent clutch lever and cracked the fairing lower, some small scratches on the LH saddlebag.

new lever ordered from MGCYCLE
new fairing lowers ordered from HARPER MOTO

oh well, could have been worse!!

happy new year...

Would that be the sidestand kicked forward?  Here I thought you may have gotten a way over ticket on the V11 w/more poop.
