Well this is a post about Clyde.

The old guy is running again.  had to clean and reseal his gas tank, and rebuild his carbs.  He runs but still needs a lot of work.  going to run him today and then run all the gas out of the carbs so that they do not rust up again.  His throttle cable is out of adjustment but he runs.  

He is almost all back together, I have a voyager kit for him, but need to buy parts to install it.  I am actively seeking a Kawasaki Vulcan that the voyager kit I have will work with.  At this point a used Vulcan might be the better option.  Clyde will run and I will ride him again, but I am looking for a way to do the run again.  I do not think I can do it on 2 wheels.  I need about 2300 bucks to adapt Big red to a 4 wheel kit, and 1000 to get the parts for Clyde.  If I can get Clyde running reliably then I may sell him.  He is really not in bad shape, just not adjusted right.  Unfortunately there are no Yamaha mechanics in Texas.

So Clyde will run and be ridden again, but he may be rehomed soon.
