    Yeah, I will let you all know when asrvivor and I get together and head that direction. We can either meet on this side and ride that way, or meet over there and ride back to this side.

    Have to dug into that bike to see if you can see what is causing the problem?

    Sounds good to me. and...
    No, I'm afraid to:cry

    I just loaded the bike onto my pickup to take home to my Garage tonight. It's been at my shop since I heard the dreaded "noise".

    I rode HORSES! the first half of the day Sunday, after hooking up with my neighbor for Saturday night's camping. Then I rode the old Shadow the long way home, and got home fairly late Sunday afternoon.

    Have you read the threads about cam chain noise? If that is the problem, the solution could be as simple as changing the 61 cent oil relief valve spring... or maybe the more-expensive-but-still-not-bank-breaking hydraulic tensioners.

    There'd be some disadvantages ($) to that, but I'd take it!
    She'll ride once in a while, but she's no Motorcycle Maniac, that's for sure.
