I am looking for the windshield stay to replace mine that broke when some "person" clipped my bike and knocked it over. My bike is a 2004.

Welcome from Firestone.

Well after a break from being able to work on the bike. I finally was able to finish the valve check/adjustment. Must say not the most fun. Got reall good on removing and installing the cams when trying to get the clearance where I wanted them.

The first valve adjustment was at 22,000 and they were in spec according to the dealership. Now the bike has 63,000. Thanks for the idea to get them all in the middle. All the intake are right at the tight side.

Finally was able to get in and check the clearance on the valves. All the intake are good, .15-.18. The exhaust on the other hand are out on #2 and #3. #2 is .13 and .15, #3 is .15 and .20. Guess I will be doing an adjustment on the exhaust valves.

Hello from Firestone, CO.

Had a great time last year. But with a newborn (4weeks old) taking up all my time, I will have to try for next year. Have fun and be safe.

I am sorry for your loss. I am glad I got to meet you and Duke last year in Salida colorado. Duke looked like he had so much fun traveling with you.

Made it home after a hard 225 miles north to Granby. Thanks for a great time and all the work that you put into making this happen. Good to meet fellow riders. Look forward to next year. Neal

Happy birthday.

If you get lonely these can be found at Costco.

Work has cooperated and now I can come on down. Even got a hotel room, even if it was a smoking room, I will just have to bring lots of freshener.
