Dana Bike

Post by jcslocum »

I rode the bike I bought last year from Dana. It's getting close to road worthy. A new battery and some wiring cleaning and it's a good charger and starter. The choke also had to be sorted. It was hanging open and the elbow was broken. Thanks Higgy for the parts! I picked up a painted mirror and she's beginning to look really good. Terry is sending a new master cylinder and she should be ready to ride. I will have new oil lines crimped up this week and then that's all of the mechanicals. Adjust and sync the carbs will be it!

JW, it's a guy! But yeah, all it took was some love and attention. He had a bad experience with the bike and I don't blame him for wanting to sell it. I just didn't want to see it parted. That's the real sin with these older bikes...

Jon, I should have those finally shipped out to you tomorrow. Vicki and I rode about 800 miles this weekend and since I have tomorrow off from work, I'll get it shipped. I'll email you when they head on their journey to you.
