^-^ I purchased a 2002 Connie in January this year (2011) and am loving it! The information in the COG forum was a great help during my pre-purchase research. With help from my Clymer manual, COG forum and Tech pages, I've completed my first valve adjustment, installed new spark plugs, oil change, rear drive oil change, front/rear brake fluid change, clutch fluid change, replaced the clutch rod seal and performed a carb sync. I've also added some farkles: 2" Gen-Mar bar risers, tip over bars w/foot pegs, Cee Bailey windshield, Shad top case, and 12v power outlet. Looking forward to meeting some of you nice folks in the future.
