Help... Central Wisconsin or Chicago
Is there anyone on this forum that lives near central Wisconsin? I wouldn't mind getting some help with manual CCTs and carb cleaning/tuning/syncing if at all possible. Chicago is also an alternative. I travel down that way once a month. I'm not asking for free labor either... unless you're offering! haha As far as the carb syncing goes I'm in the process of getting a Twinmax tool for that. I haven't ever tuned carbs and my knowledge on ripping them apart is a single carb 250cc dirt bike.
Thanks,
Rob

Hey guys can I get in on the offer as well? I'm in Round Lake Beach IL, North burbs.
I just want to get a sanity check from another Superhawk owner that has a little more experience than me to make sure I have things right. She runs good so far no issues that I know of. Just looking for a quick check and maybe get some tips on maintenance and such.
I did the manual cct's, jetted carbs, sync and tune up.

Not sure about this coming weekend, as work is brutal & so will be the temps.

Rah, rah! Just chiming in for downtown Milwaukee. I'll go back to being quiet now. I wouldn't mind seeing another one though...
Although someone was down here for Jazz in the Park a few weeks ago, if you hang around here...

I live in Racine,used to live in Hales Corners, and grew up in Menomonee Falls, and work in Milwaukee, right off of Silver Spring and I43, if some people want to get together for a ride some time that would be great. Besides, once winter gets here i myself may need a little mechanical help with my 99' SH that I may not have the tools for. It never hurts to get to know the right people.

IWVTRR
= Illinois Wisconsin VTR Ride (or Rally)
I've been trying to get members to commit to at least one ride for years!
I thing we should tr to get together once a month during the "season".
Not this weekend though due to work & heat but maybe next. We can meet U Cheeseheads anywhere like in Burlington at Adrian's Frozen Custard or in Rochester at Chances (I like to ride-eat-ride as my tight leathers will attest to). I can round-up the NE IL guys and head north.
Let's do it soon!
BTW, was near the Iron Horse (Hotel) today when I visited the HD museum for the first time (I was caging it becuz I had to deliver SWMBO* & R3** to a Fesh at Pettit Nat'l Ice Center). Very good museum even though I'm not a Harleyite at all.
*SWMBO = She Who Must Be Obeyed
**R3 = Rodent 3 = human babies become rug rats hence rodentia, 3 being 3rd born

Due to crazy work and school schedules, I hope everybody would be o.k. with an upcoming Sunday. Burlington also sounds good with me unless anybody has any other suggestions. I'm open to meeting where ever. It's just that my days free are limited to pretty much Sunday.
