Nice looking bike Glenn, congrats. I never got to do my write up of things I learned during my trip. I wanted to share a couple of accessories that I got and really liked during the journey. One is the grip covers: http://shop.originalbeemerbuddies.com/SMARTSKIN-OGB-AB-SS-OGB-AB-SS.htm These

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Spark plug wires

That's a nice how-to Kyle. Did you notice any difference in how the engine runs? I remember back in Maracaibo I could only find really crapy wires for my '78 beetle. There were so cheap that I will buy new ones every 2 or 3 oil changes. Every time it felt like I got a new car. On Fri, Nov 11,

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] 250 exhaust issue solved, but it wasn't easy!

That looks pretty neat, almost stock IMHO. You should post a video to hear how that sounds. With a new exhaust maybe re-jetting the carbs is not such a bad idea. Javier. On Tue, Oct 11, 2016 at 6:26 PM, Nate Craft wrote: > I couldn't find my previous thread, so here's the

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Bad Noise

I think you simply need to adjust the chain tension. In the same position, with the bike off, test how far up the chain goes in the middle point between the two sprockets. Push the chain with your finger or a screw driver. If it goes farther than an inch you should adjust it. J. On Wed, Sep 28,

In fact, I got worried because I started getting dizzy at the top after a few minutes. If you live near sea level going that high that fast can really make you sick. So I would advice to stay at least one night in the town and then go up. It also got very cold very quick (at the bottom was 66F, at

Great Glenn, I will keep that in mind. I am not sure if I can make it to the Grand Canyon today. Google says 8 and a half hours to the north rim, which in reality will be a lot more with all the stops in the parks. I am thinking in maybe reach 4 corners at the end of the day and then find a place
