[QUOTE="mcgovern61, post: 8163, member: 59"] I have the '81 engine still together! It has a lot of miles on it and I know it makes noise, but it never let me down! Starts instantly and runs well otherwise (just loud). You can listen to it here: [MEDIA=YOUTUBE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SyhI7BDnhE[/MEDIA] and here is the noise: [MEDIA=YOUTUBE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPysWst04xk[/MEDIA] For the record, it has sounded like this since I got it in 2008 and I have put over 7,000 miles on it running like that. Because of the gearing in the '81 and my '82 final drive and wheel, it would run at 5400 rpm at 70 mph. I didn't hesitate to run her up to 6500 rpm on the highway, just noisy. This summer, my daughters and I were going to open it up and take a look inside, but it is still ready to be popped into a bike. [/QUOTE]
