New Guy from Oregon

[ilknascar]

Hey there! :wave:
I am new to this site. I live here in Lebanon Oregon USA.
I always wanted a wing and finaly got one. :yahoo:
It isnt much to get excited about but it is mine and paid for! 1984 Aspencade 1200 31,000 miles. It is in realy good shape although it does need tires. I did find out on the way home that the stator was bad. :Awe: I confirmed that after checking it. (with all of the information I have gotten from this site) So, before I get to take it for any kind of a ride I am doing the alternater conversion. I have a buddy who looked at the pictures and read a lot of the things written here that is helping to fabricate the parts. I hope that by next weekend I will have it on the road!
I suppose thats my whole introduction...... I dont have any pictures yet because I had to tear it down as soon as I got it home!

Well I finally got the time to finish the conversion!! :Egyptian: We went on our first little trip to see how things went and so far so good!! My wife was excited to cause she got the old bike, arty: 87 Suzuki VS 1400. It is the biggest bike she has ever ridden. My 11 year old riding buddy loved our little trip also. I have found that I get an exhaust smell when we are running along. I will have to see if the exhaust is leaking but, I also noticed that when I decelerate coming to a stop I get a back fire. I am thinking that I may need to adjust the carb synch as well. Was a good time though for the first half way decent day of the year here in the good old rain forest northwest! I am trying to attach some pics and will see what happens. Thanks again for all the hellos and welcomes!

Ok Omega Man, here are a couple of pictures during the conversion. They are not all that great but I hope they work for you though. I didn't post them because there were already a lot on the site. Any way, here are a couple of them to look at any way. Who knows, maybe it will help someone get their project done.......
Hey Big Mackie, Your in Oak Harbor? I have a son, daughter-n-law and a daughter in the Navy. They were all stationed on Whidbey Island for a while. In fact my daughter just transferred in April. They are all now in San Diego. I get up to Oak Harbor occasionally to look in on my sons house out off North Shore Circle.
Any way, thanks again for all of the welcomes guys! I hope the pics come out good enough..
