[QUOTE="Rednaxs60, post: 202233, member: 4617"] [/quote]85 LTDs are terrific as long as you can adapt parts. Mine runs every bit as strong as my 95 SE 1500[/quote] My '85 LTD here in Victoria runs well, but every now and then decides I should be punished for enjoying it so much. Two up riding is great, pulls well. Will have to do the valves. Engine has a roll to it when cold starting until it warms up then it runs very smooth. Won't be touching the rings because no blow-by. Did an oil change yesterday, needs 3 1/2 quarts. Only shy 2-3 ounces and at 151,000 Km (93,827 miles). Have a small oil leak by the oil temp sensor. Will address this when I do the valves. Adapting parts is a challenge but it is something I enjoy. I tend to take my time. This second '85 LTD will make work/maintenance periods on either bike easier, will have a second to ride while one is down. Was at a GW riders meeting here in Victoria this morning for breakfast. Mentioned i had two of these bikes and sold the 1800. Everyone there were riding 1800s, but did make the comment that they missed their 1200 - made me feel pretty good. Cheers [/QUOTE]
