Some family issues slowed me down-but new metz 880 on front-d/s rear general altimax h p 205-60-16 h rated-new gates timing belts new brake pads f and r-entire rear end serviced moly paste from guard dog-put in the shifter seal-all brake and clutch fluids changed turned her over about 4 or 5 turns hit the choke dang good to have her back. Test ride of about 103 miles-would have been more but got her inspected and tagged today(don't gotta worry bout that again til april 2013) so it's all good. First-thanks to anyone who had the answers to my many many questions. With out fail the answers(at least in my case-this time) were available in search. I printed off reams of stuff.

Just knowing this board is here-worth the price of admission.

Had this board not been here-i would have dropped CUBIC BUCKS at my local friendly

dealer. Every one that serviced your own valkyrie-i now happily join that group. Been ahile since i've done THAT much wrenching. Again-this board made my sweet runnin valk possible. Oh heck-almost forgot-dyna beads in both tires. That stuff really works.

I know that going d/s is gonna work out for ME just fine.

RIDE SAFE.
