what did you wrench on today??

[Vmass]

Mr. Hahn showed up today with sync gauges today and got carbs dialed in. Running real nice, and with a bit of rejetting and a date with the dyno...

EXCELLENT!!! The engine looks very clean..

A bunch of stuff today...

Some noisy stuff that will be revealed in good time, fixed the sagging left pillion peg, wire wheeled the tank badges, got the new ball joints on the gear change arm so I can change gears successfully, and got the fuel and vacuum hoses hooked up.

We got the car buttoned up today and believe that it's ready for the track.

Nice, Frank! Air-cooled Turbo???

Nope. It's a normally aspirated 964.

Theoretically I adjusted the clutch... I put it like that because with the clutch lever held in it's quite hard to turn the rear wheel when in gear.

I suspect it's as simple as I need to get some wheels spun in anger to free it all up as this is the first time I've tried to use it since the engine rebuild...

With the oil being cold, it still has friction between the plates and is basically a viscous coupling.
Adjust it with warm oil after you ride it this weekend.

Front end exchange

Fixing to upgrade my 750 front end to an 1100 front end soon.

Cool, makes sense

And yes that would be quite awesome

Come on upholsterer... you can do it! I really don't want to do the Leigh pillow trick...

I got the new airbox to carb boots for my 76 CB 750A Hondamatic, so i got the carbs and airbox all redone and put the bike back together and took it for a short ride..about 6 miles. Ran like a champ and is lots of fun.

Looking forward to taking a spin on her, Chuck. Haven't rode a "clutchless" since my Western Auto minibike... circa 1968.

On the wrenching front: Calibrated sending unit today. Fill, check, drain, adjust... fill, check, drain, adjust... fill, check (snap off a bullet connector... ), drain, adjust... and finally reading 1/2 full.

NOTHING! I went for a ride! Bwaahahhahahha. First time in a long time I was not wrenching before riding. Felt good. Bike ran great (GPz, GS has a slight tummy ache).
Was supposed to help wrench on a friend's WS-6 TransAm, but he was a no-show. His loss. My gain.

Put my missing split pins in the axles and rear brake stabiliser arm, stuck some fuel in her, fired her up and checked the ignition timing for the Dynatek (spot on) and checked the charging system with the new R/R installed (spot on).

Then I took her for a shake down ride!!!

Round the block for the first time in nearly 10 years

Yeah that felt good! Just need some bigger pilots so she'll come back down to idle properly and she'll be all good to start tuning after getting her registered

Pic's and video will follow shortly in my rebuild thread for proof that this event occurred

[Mindless]

Well, I was working after midnight on it so I guess it classifies as "today".

Out with the old...





In with the new.





I'll put up a project thread on it later if the moderators don't mind.

Hey 'AstroNut' wheel Mindless - it is an Astralite isn't it? You rob a bank?
