I noticed the volts gauge wasnt reading I assume you havent hooked it up yet?
sounds good I like the bike muffler


Its a funny thing because the volt meter wont read unless the headlights are on....same with the horn. There are some little electrical gremlins I gotta run off.

Glad to hear it running, Brad. You gotta come by soon and we'll round up Evan and go for a mini cruise.

Yeah those rims will be the first thing to go once I find something to replace them. I like the tires you have on yours. I like the smoothie bus rims but I'm not sure that they were correct for my year bus....not that I really care. Im no perfectionist. The bus is a hybrid as it is!

Took the Loaf for a drive to the next town over on Thursday night. It really drove nice. Lots of pep and great acceleration response. Its running as good or better than when I first bought it. I'm gonna check the carbs and timing again today to see how things are after being driven for a bit, then I think it'll be ready for the No Show next weekend....now If I can only get off work. :shock:

Soooo...I've been driving the S#!t out of the loaf for the past three days and have been very pleased. The only things I've found so far is a couple of minor oil drips. One from the pressure relief plug and the other from the oil temp sender where in screws into the case. Both easy fixes. It was a great day today for a drive. I also got all the title and registration stuff done today, so now Im all legal....cant wait to start makin some cruises and shows.... :dance:

Evan (Barkeep) told me about this site that will decode the "M-plate" on the buses. I gave it a shot and here is the lowdown on the OG Loaf.

Click on the little picture to see all the details.
