Very nice Jeff! The bike looks sick! Motor build sounds identical to mine. I have the same top end, cams, ignition on mine with nearly identical power (84 HP).

Thanks Ross. Its actually 83.8 HP and 76.0 on Torque so right on par. Thought about doing a 1250 this winter with ported XL heads etc (don't want to mess up the Thunderstorm heads)and a Mikuni flatslide. Probably have Dan hook me up.

Rocker box conversion finished and catch can installed. Rear brakes and rotor done as well. Front rotor coming today. White Marchesinis should be here shortly as well for a differant look. Tires to be mounted shortly as well. Michelin pilots. All three isolators will be changed out too as well as the front mount. Coming along nicely. Bike rides nice and smooth.

Fixed the oil leak at the oil tank. Guy I bought the bike from was using an o ring around the drain plug. I took it off which by the way it was split and put the stock thin aluminum washer on. Tightened up and no leaks. I did use just a little yamabond 4 under the head of the bolt as well. All good. Adjusted the clutch today behind the derby cover and along the cable. The cam chain needed tightened a little as well. Changed the trans fluid too. Put the formula + in. Bike seemed to shift and ride smoother. Front 9 pin rotor on. Will be taking bike to Jolly's place next weekend to do all three isolators. Will have new pilots on for the trip as well. Looking forward to riding. The S2 is an awesome bike. Not as much power as my S1W but so smooth and damn does it get the looks.

...once I get my right rear turn signal reattached (or replaced), the three of us should get together for an S2 ride... : )

Joe,

one of the rides I'm thinking about doing is running back roads to Harpers Ferry probably Saturday 6 Sep, so if you are free we could meet up. It will be Jefc73, KCZombie and myself. were going to install side plates and ISOs on Jeff's bike then spend two days doing some riding.

It will take us a few hours to get there from where I live with a few stops along the way, so it will be lunch time or later by the time we make it. Bring the RED S2!! Would love to see that bike!!

is your phone number still the same?
