We have made it. In this video we are putting our work to the test with the first start up of the XL185s motor we overhauled just a few months back.
With just a few more things to button up, let's see how we did on this fresh rebuild.

This year (2024) will be attending the "Mid-Ohio Vintage Days" event over in Lexington, Ohio. Would love to see anyone there who has been a supporter of the channel to shake your hand!

You can find out more about this event here - https://vintagemotorcycledays.com/
