Wait - - is that a WV bug splatter on the w/s frame? Tell me all you gotta do is use a little bit of all purpose spit and a bandana to get that off - STAT!
I’m leaving it as a talisman….
I’ve been on a couple shake down runs to the farmers market, hardware store and Grandmother Chungas. I get a few miles of country two lanes, a few miles of the in town experience and a few miles of Interstate roulette. Put somewhere in the neighborhood of 50 miles or so on it. Getting close to hitting the U-bolts and lug nuts again.
Gauges : Speedo is passive aggressive. Ammeter and Temp gauge are just slightly “off”. Ammeter sits just south of center mast. But never fails to fire, it doesn’t drag and the gear reduction starting spins it like a top. Battery +12 at rest +14 at idle.
Temp gauge reads on the cool side. The temp/humidity here in the valley this week “will make you beg for your next breath” (I miss the mountains). New Rad must be kicking it..!!! Sitting in traffic at mid day still on the cool side.
Spare tire carrier is making me paranoid. Had it pop open. Still needs some adjustment. Just doesn’t quite “lock up” the way it should.
Trans is smooth as silk. I’ve not tested the TCase yet. Got a plan though
. Clutch is smooth and the City Race brake booster is “just like butter”..
It defiantly draws a crowd in parking lots and more than one person has rolled down the window in traffic.
Working a solution for rear bed mat and floor mats. They’ll need to be custom cut. I’ve have this out of the box notion for a custom shotgun holder using a YOTA OE part. Need a bit more research/dimensions before calling a proof of concept victory..
Next up: Discussion on the HT or add a TROA ST..???
…..when that happens, I’d bet I try to lift the top off and enjoy that occasionally
