You need to finish it with a sledgehammer.

lol... I know all THAT. Just didn't know what YOU were specifically going there for. If anything. I've been to Nashville and Gatlinburg numerous times.
That's one retro Gary fisher, sweet bike.

Installed the rebuilt driveshafts and drove around the block a couple times. I don't have plates or insurance yet (this week), so I couldn't go too far. No growl or vibration though. The speedo works for now (replaced the VSS), but a longer trip will be needed to make sure that was the issue with the wonky speedo. The tune up seemed to help as well. Still a slight miss at idle/low load, but it's better than it was. Can't wait to get it on the road to see what I'm working with!

Rotella and a Napa Gold filter, too hot and muggy to do much else after sweating it out at work.

New ground for each turn signal and brake light, still having issues with the LEDs but solved at least one issue so far. Just one left and it'll be right, hopefully. Also got in some flush mount led pods. I was thinking of putting them in the rear bumper on the corners, but I don't think they will give off the light I would like. Also, they would be very difficult to mount in the bumper with modification to bumper, light and possibly body. Any suggestions of where I could put them? Rear or front?
