Hay ! , I like the fender on that bike your parked next to ! Tongue

I wouldn't have to clean my bike near as often with a fender like that up front . Huh

Is that a Yahama 650 ?

I put the 1200 primary drive sprocket and chain and also the front secondary drive pulley on my not long after I got it. seems like my 883 front pulley was (? 28 ?) and the one I got was a (? 30 ?), but the europeans have a (31 or 32) .?. I'll look in my service manual next time I have it out . Huh

anyway the belt worked with the larger pulley with just a little forward room to spare , and the speedometer shows 50 when the GPS shows 52 or 53 mph. I think if the front pulley was any bigger I'd have to get the longer belt.

Bot you got the Mid controls , you taken any long rides yet ?

Ok , Ok

next question : is the tire dia. close enough to fit the 650 classic fender on the Sportster ? Huh

A little adjusting on the mounting holes is no problem , getting a holt of a 650 classic to measure might be. Next time I see one you can bet I'll be going for a tape measure ! Roll Eyes

Ebay can be a great place to shop sometimes !

Since Dave cleaned my bike and made it look so good , I've kinda gotten used to riding a "Clean Machine" . I'm halling around polish and a piece of "Sham-WoW" in my saddle bag now , I'm a change Man ... Reformed even (a little) ! . Cheesy

Heck , even my S-40 is staying clean now-days !
