Everyone should do yoga. It's pretty calming and doing wonders for my knee.

 

In other news looks like my motor is packed up and ready to be reused.... possibly. Somehow the stator came in contact with the rotor/flywheel and wore down the windings until I lost continuity and lost the ability to provide power. Lots of reasons why it could have happened. Maybe poor tolerances on the stator. It didn’t help that I left out the alternator cover gasket which brought the cover closer by the thickness of the gasket. I'm also guessing that the cheap ebay stator cover could've poorly situated the stator as well. I suspect assembling the stator might involve a test to see if there is contact and then some shim activity although the manual doesn’t let on with that secret. I have to learn the hard way.

 

So I'm looking at about another $500 in parts. $100 for the stator, plus some non ebay rearsets and other crap and I'll be in business.

Congrats.

 

Anyone here on a dyna? Triple? Thinking about picking up a street bob in the spring for longer trips/ highway riding. They suitable for shit like that, or just a bigger sportster?

 

o the blasphemy of a Suzuki blvd. lol. a street bob is a few steps up from a sporty. they can be used for long runs or commuting around town. getting the right bars and seat are on you. get what fits and not just what looks good.(i really dont follow this, just giving basic advice.) its also about your style of riding as well.(bars) are you riding in a pack or single. is your lady ridin with you or not.(seat). thats about all i have for you seeks. ride it like you stole it.

if you have or get a sporty buy some used road king shocks and throw them on. they can be bought for less than hundred on ebay and it turns the sporty into a fuckin caddy. i had the stock suspension and just put some RK shocks on mine and i wish i would have done it as soon as i bought my sporty. all you need is a couple washers on top and bottom so it doesn't rub on the rear fender
