Riders Of Vision

Today is my birthday, 72.  ROV sent me a Happy Birthday so I thought I would check in.  It was the Vision that got me back into motorcycling.  I brought a Vision back to life and had a lot of fun with it with a ton of help from this forum.  Next up was a barn find Honda Shadow 1100.  That was good for a couple years but I wanted a Harley so I bought a rebuildable Harley Road King from Copart.  Wrecked but I fixed it.  Really liked having a Harley so I bought another, this time a Harley Softail Deluxe, which I still have.  The Road King was just too heavy for me so it was sold on Craigslist.  Branched out a bit and rebuilt a Vespa scooter which is a lot of fun.  Wanted a real rebuild challenge so I recently bought a 65 Honda Superhawk which I am just in the beginning stages of rebuilding.  I'm retired now and glad to have a hobby.  All this because a guy sold me a Vision cheap because it had all the Vision gremlims,  Stator failure, Oil in the starter, and carbs that wouldn't carburate.  You guys know what I'm talking about.  The Vision taught me I can take an old bike, fix it, and ride it.  I'm still grateful.

I know this thread is a bit dead, but just for anyone in the future having issues removing a flywheel on these bikes;

I discovered the biggest problem with removal, depending on what puller you use, the crank stub actually starts to expand (only a few thou) which makes the flywheel that much harder to get off.

The way I've discovered works every single time, get another bolt the same size as the flywheel bolt.
Make sure it fits through the hole in the flywheel.
Drill a small center mark in the top of the bolt to act as a guide for the puller then tighten into the crank.

Install your 3 bolt puller as normal and this will stop the crank from trying to expand.
This is the method I use now on every flywheel for XZ550 and they all come off like butter.

Fortunately first lap crashes are 'rare', but obviously they CAN happen.  It is rather amazing that they don't happen more frequently, which is a testament to the skill of the riders.

Looking for a set of wheels, right side mirror and rear brake lever.  Will need full exhaust and the two chrome cooling tubes with good chrome later, but if anyone has them available now, I'm also interested.

Thanks!
