Finally received the handwarmers...I think I luck out...not made in China, Taiwan...must be the good stuff...lol.

Look up ive re- edited a section..

So today I spent a couple of hours working in the Dacia this afternoon......the Sat Nav & Dash Cam have been removed, and also the original CD/Radio put back in, gave it a bit of a clean out too, I may put it on Marketplace next weekend, hope I get a better response than I did with the scoot. Fired up the scoot too, it was a nice enough day to have gone for a ride, but wife is not in good enough health to leave for too long, she is now into the 4th week of sleeping on the sofa, iam getting pretty well fed up of being couped up in here, only escape I get is doing the shopping at Asda...

But the point you seem to be making is that your previous Harley was faster than your present Indian , yes ?

You talking to me ? If yes...the point is I can't understand why someone would want to watch a bike turn into a pille of rust...the guy is a lineman for N.B power...has a 2 door garage attached to the house...how much room does a bike take...to me it's like burning money in a fire pit... I might be over estimating the market value for that bike in goodshape without rust...but you can get one of those everyday around here for 15 Canadian funny money...now..I wouldn't bother with it for 2 thousand...it would be only to breack it up for parts...

With the speed limiter turned off...ive heard some have them going 600kph...lol.

Africa Twin (RD04 & RD07) are a bitch to get the clearances done without skinning your knuckles

and your point is ??

Know exactly what you mean....did that so many times w/ my 550 Seca....eventually had it down to a science where I could do it in my sleep. The swearing really commenced though, when doing carb work on my VF Sabre. The Sprint is gonna be a real sweetie when you get it all sorted mate...

So you're apparently very fast busa beating Indian only does 180kph?... well well well what do we all think about that....

It's a shame...sold the bike locally and before getting the blue 2015 i had a look at it , the bike maybe did 2000 km the guy never rides it...was thinking of buying it back..the bike is totally destroyed..rust bucket..store in a shed , don't know how everything got rusted so bad on it...non heated shed , im thinking he was opening the doors when there was exteem temperature change and humidity sat on it...the bike looks horrible now..

It was pretty well bulletproof...lol...if my memory serves me well , it was faster than a stock 110 at the time...dam thing would run 200kph ...the indian does 180...lol.

I still have the scars from doing the spark plugs on my VFR ....apart from plugs, oil/air filter and oil change I never had to take a spanner to mine. It was originally a French registered bike, bought it from Granby motorcycles who sold many imported bikes, They MOTed it when I bought it, at the next MOT it failed because the headlight was for countries driving on the right of the road, i couldn't (or afford) get a UK headlight for it at the time, so i sold it cheap.

You didn't know I had and 09 classic , good machine it was 96 ci but..loaded with a passenger it just didn't have enough ouff, a specially when over taking a lori...so I had them bump it up to a 103 not sure exactly what stage they were called in those years ...the kit came with manual de- compressors , one failed on the return ride from laconia one years...drove it basically on one cylinder for 600 km or so to reach a HD dealer, the Harley brand de- compressors were junk . Upgraded them to Vulcan decompess...

Oh and I have to flush the tank and fit a ScottOiler that I actually bought. Also gonna take apart any connections I missed, clean and cover them in dielectric grease.

Valve check done on Saturday, all within spec. Did at my mates workshop with him watching over. He is much better qualified than me plus has all the tools. Anyway took no photos, he is keen on privacy. I didn’t really care, also looks to me like they were checked at the last service but of course a guess. Carbs off and on again to day, I neglected to fit new fuel lines after doing them. A mistake that is fixed now. Got fitting the carbs off to a fine art although it took some swearing to learn it. Got some electrickery to sort, new indicators, heated grips, voltmeter, usb charging and stuff to sort than I should be on the road.

Wish they offered the option thoe....seriously who would want to do any serious off road on a Pan- am...those things are ridden 99% of the time pavement ..think I've ridden the indian more often off road than most Pan- am owners...lol.

Oops !!!! My mistake..your right.

By one year dummy...lol...my 09 classic.

It certainly does, I know someone with one, he has a Scott Oiler on it.

The Pan American uses a chain, though.

I have been riding a belt drive bike a lot longer than you.

The 305 was a 1986 model, i had it around 1995, and if I member correctly it had 22,000+ miles on the clocks, it handled fine, and was fast enough for the riding I did, but for a 305cc bike it felt very small,

WTF !!!...they got a special on Russian vodka ?....lol.

Are you a believer now ...lol...belt drive...
