Got some eletrical trouble, but I know the etiquette post on the welcome forum first.

Anyway, recently picked up an '83 Heritage. Probably paid a little much for it in hindsight, but such is life sometimes. Had to replace both tires and now I am having electrical problems (charging and headlight... I think that its all related) and it is also popping on the bottom end.

Was a little disappointed in the performance at first, but once I adjusted the valved properly and the cam chain it is doing much better. If I can get the electrical and popping taken care of I will be pretty happy. Fun bike to ride for sure, and looks nice and clean.

As for me, I am a graduate student working in computer modelling (petroleum engineering and computational fluid dynamics) and the bikes (I also coincidentally ride an '83 Yamaha IT175 dirt bike) do a nice job of getting me away from the computer.
