    Any one else in Utah? I would like to do a ride with a bunch of guys. My neighbor has a Roadstar1700 and we ride together.

    nice. I am in Orem. It took me a few months to get it running, but they run really nice when you get them going.

    We are planning on a trip up the alpine loop either later this year or early next year. I will keep you posted.

    I'm in the Ogden area... But My bike is out of commission too, can't get it out of first gear. Looks like I will have to crack the case to fix the cam cain guide. So I'm down for this riding season anyway.

    I haven't gone through my carbs yet. that is my winter project. Going to do exactly what you just did. Paint the tank and go through the carbs. I would pm bigfitz to see what his advice on stuck bleed screws are. He will probably have good advice for that.
