Re: 1987 R10...aka Belushi

So I took it for the first drive since the day I drove it home...almost 2 months ago. Took it on a 20 mile round trip drive and filled it up while I was out. Had 2 older guys (I’m 50, so 60+) ask me questions about it at the gas station.

No weird suspension noises and it drives and rides great. The a/c belt seems to be slipping slightly when the compressor engages and the steering wheel is a little off center (but I only aligned it with a tape measure) and the speedo is a bit fast...or this thing loves 75-80 mph.

I’m going to check the rear gear ratio and the speedo gear to see if I can get it closer. Tighten or replace the a/c belt and check the charge on it and get an alignment. Then detail it one more time and drive the STEW out of it.
