NickDG 23 #1064 July 25, 2010 Well, the show is off for tomorrow! I just came back from having dinner with Mike Pelkey, his wife, and Marah. (Marah is the one restoring all of Carl Boenish's old movies.) And that was great. But when I rolled Nina back into the garage there was oil all over the back of the back of her. I cracked my oil tank. It failed right around one of the mounting bungs on the top. The problem was the tank was so big (4 quarts) I didn't have much clearance all around, and no way could I rubber mount it, and I sucked it up too tight to the mounts to clear the solenoid on the bottom. That's what cracked the tank around the fitting. So more my fault than anything. I just ordered another smaller tank, but no bike show for Nina and me in the morning. But hey, that's show business . . . NickD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But just as I was thinking he's probably on a closed road, whamo! Gypsy, when you leaving for Sturgis, end of next week?

NickDG 23 #1072 August 4, 2010 She's doing fine . . . But, I made some changes since the last update. I changed out the barrel (mechanical) type ignition switch for a solid state one. I was having all kinds of problems with the original one. My lights would go out (and during the day I wouldn't know it) and twice the motor cut out until I jiggled the switch. I've had the new one for a few days now and no more problems. I also (like a I mentioned upboard) had to get a new oil tank after cracking the one I had. The new one is smaller so it also solved the heat I was feeling on my thighs while riding. Especially my right leg which was resting right on the oil cap. I've been experimenting with tire pressures to find the best ride. And I settled on 25 pounds in Nina's rear Metzler 880. At that pressure (some guys run a lot lower than that, but I want the tire to stay on the rim, LOL) plus with the tire being a large 200mm it really makes you forget you're riding a hardtail. On the cosmetic side I made some covers to go over the rear axle nuts so that cleaned up nicely. Lastly, I've got a new smaller rear sprocket on order. I have a 51 tooth on Nina now but decided to go with a 48 tooth. This will make the overall gearing taller which at Nina's lighter weight (lighter than a stock bike) will make her perform better. It'll give me more of a first gear (before I have to shift into second) which right now is kind of a granny and lower the RPMs at highway speed. Overall I'm really stoked with Nina. She's a happy girl and I'm a happy boy . . . NickD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
