2014 Indian Motorcycles.

Posted on August 22, 2013 by Scott Smith


Not sure this is my style of motorcycle. Although i always thought they had very cool lines.  


And the engine is just gorgeous. 

But  probably the bigger thing is having two brands of motorcycles built in Iowa, Victory and now Indian!  

That is a pretty big deal.

Zenith Open Hangar Day and Builder Fly-In: September 21, 2013, in Mexico, Missouri

Posted on August 20, 2013 by Scott Smith

Are you going?  I’m planning on being there!

This is a great event.  Not only learn about the Zenith Aircraft products, but meet the people behind the planes and also meet the builders and owners.

Improving the ride on my Sportster XL883C

Posted on August 19, 2013 by Scott Smith

One modification I did early on to the Sportster was adding a new pair of shocks. I opted for a pair of almost new Road King shocks. They were a little longer than my stock factory shocks and I rode it that way for awhile. But later I added a pair of lowering blocks from Tamarak (great products by the way).

You need longer mounting bolts and a number of washers to space the shocks to clear the belt guard and struct covers.  I bought my shocks for $50 and a Harley plumbing kit for the local dealer.  Pretty basic and easy to do and is probably one of the better low cost modifications especially when riding two up.

Pictures are before the lowering blocks.
