I have abandoned the trip, after 2 days, to Ohio with Allen and Vic and returned home from northern Wyoming, due to the affects of heat and variouse other small problems. I did not want to have to U-Haul the bike back over 2000 miles from Ohio. I will be relocating the cooling fan and replacing the stock main jets with smaller ones to see if that helps to get the bike consistantly into the 80+ mpg rang. the exhaust pipe is covered on the inside, with a black soot, as is the panel beside it, suggesting that the bike is over fueling. I will also be reshaping the cargo section to reduce the affects of side winds. When i have fixed these issues I wil try again next year.
