To many names to thank... But thank you all !!! You all helped. Anyone need help changing a cam chain, tensioners and guides.. I think I know that job to well now. LOL. Can't wait to get back on the bike. We are closer than ever now. LOL

Time to get back on the road "Revenge of the Hurricane is back ! " Gotta love it!

 

I've been grinning all week on your behalf Matt.
Excellent news. Hope you're out enjoying her as she should be all over again.
Nice one. We all love a happy ending.

 

I drove her to work the past 2 days, she is back to her old self (great) she rocks like beast. I love the lunge at 7k feels great. I was putting gas in her the other day and I had compliments on the bike. One guy was shocked she is a 1988 model. He said he though it was only a few years old. Most young people don't even know what a Hurricane is.

I know I was interested in a blackbird if I could not fix the cane. Well I still like the Bird and may own one some day but not as long as the cane is up and running. In fact I may never sell the cane. I have learned so much on this bike and they are not that hard to work on. Besides I really like her.

U all know the Hurricane 1000 is a fast bike. I think it is brutal above 7k.
With my 16/43 gearing she is very quick off the line, will lift the front tire easy. Will even come up in 2nd. My question is about the power of the bird. I know the bird is lighter and faster overall. I would like to think the Hurricane could stay close to the bird in the low and midrange sprint in a straight line. Anybody ever tied up with one?
Not that it really matters, but I was just thinking about it the other day.
I know top speed the Bird is wicked fast at 180 +mph. Lately I have had no problems at putting the hurt on the R6 and Honda 600rr's. Not that I race alot I really do not. most of the time I just cruise on the old girl. But every once in awhile I flex those big Hurricane muscles and she is gone like her name "Hurricane"
