Nice job Cookie. The yellow is done, the cafe is done, the LTD is almost done. Time to buy some more.

Don't think that $500 LTD in LA isn't tempting but I have a 75 I've hardly touched. The heartbreaker is I paid $500 for it and have at least another $150 gathering parts and it is no where near the bike that LTD is.
We also have Spencer's 500 all apart.
Then my Norton is going to need this year's service.
I'd best change the oil and service my Chang as well as I should do some more work on the bike I'm going to give the museum.
Along in there I have to schedule life too.

OK, we'll do it.
I'll pm you, it would be a bit of an adventure.

I haven't touched the yellow bike since I got the other LTD. After stuttering until her carbs filled I joined all the bikers that were out in the nice weather today. I had just planned on a short trip for lunch but the bike just kept going. She got rid of three quarters of a tank and I've only run into one problem, I don't think I have enough slack in the throttle cable as she would idle too high sometimes. Since I could kind of jam the throttle backwards and it would come down it makes me think I did it moving the handlebars.

Since the brake lines and new master boot are in from Frenchy I installed and bled them today. I went for the stock look on this bike, you have to remove the spring and reroute as they are universal, but I bet only you guys will notice. If I was taking her cross country I'd go for braided steel but how many yellows are still this original? Wash after brake work in case you spilled and did not notice. I bled it with one of those cheap Harbor Freight bleeders.

As long as yellow bike and I are alive it will be!

Lookin good Cookie, gotta love Sulfur Yellow

[starket]

It is looking good. Hard to believe you took time away from the new LTD to work on this one.

[Cookie]

This tends to be my everyday rider and when I found the cracks in the exterior of the brake lines while serviceing the neck and forks they had to go.
I just rode it in to work today and I'd say it mostly runs like a bike a year or two old, everything is still pretty tight except for normal Goldwing stuff like the rear winding up.

I still laugh everytime I see the title of this thread. Go Yella!

[Cookie]

By the way, I think you may be the only one who ever commented on the joke in the title. I thought that was funny. Of course I'd probably been drinking beer when I wrote it.

So why the long face? hahahhaa
