First Bike '85 454 LTD

Hey guys,
My name is Steven, From Jackson, Mississippi.
I just purchased my first bike this week. Very Excited and very glad to find others with so much info on this bike. I talked to Blaine about some issues I was having and he suggested that I introduced myself and share some pictures.

Picked up this bike off craigslist for $1000 with helmet. Runs great, Having a little overheating problem right now, going to try to get that taken care of.

I'm not Mechanically inclined so I will probably have some questions soon.

Just wanted to let everyone know...
Thanks to this board and all of you guys awesomeness, I managed to fix my overheating problem.

The fan radiator switch was actually broken, Looks the the previous owner (who only had it a month) dropped it and broke the connection off. I have a friend who can fix the connector, But for now I just wired a toggle switch to the fan. works like a charm.
Did all of this in the dark with a flashlight in 30ish degree weather. But we did it, And I home my first time at night and freezing cold.

Needless to say I'm very excited.

Thank you guys for all the help and I look forward to be able to post pictures after I clean the bike up and black it out!

Cheers!

The fork bag was causing overheating on my bike.
