Hah yes I got your PM. I’m at work until 5, then have dog duty. 7:30-ish would work for me.

I have a new throttle assembly, grips, push and pull cables, SS brake lines… Think we could knock that all off?

edit: I’m not sure if we can do all this… the new throttle assembly doesn’t have the controls on it for run/stop, start, headlights. I know I want to wire the lights to be always on, but start, run/stop will need a remote switch…

if anyone is interested, my buddy is riding his 77 honda CB550 up here from ohio to hangout for a week, he’ll be getting in on the 9th and staying until the 15th…

we plan to do A LOT of riding, I took the whole week off.

One of the destinations we plan to check out is I heard there is a place in springville called **“Vintage Cycle”** that we want to make a nice ride out to so we can check it out (not highway though…nice backroads cruise there). If anyone wants to get ANY riding in with us that week, just PM me for my cell number to meet up with us at ANY time lol.

I picked up my first bike which is a 1983 Suzuki GS750ESD a few weeks ago. The bike seems to be in decent shape with a few quirks which I suppose is to be expected in a 28 year old bike. The tach is screwy and being an electric tach it makes me believe it is either the rectifier or the stator which is going/gone.
