It's possible that priorities are a-changing and the bike will take longer to get done ......

Sounds like you better hurry up and finish that motorcycle so you take her for a ride on it.

And do you think she tripped by accident?

Oh man! What if I didn't catch her?

Thanks! I would be looking forward to that ride.

Priorities haven't changed at all. I haven't been more motivated to finish this bike! And the girl's also a wrencher!


Let's get back on topic. I gotta go out and buy some oil. I will try looking for Rotella 15w-40 (right?) but so far I couldn't find it anywhere. I may settle with Castrol 10w-40 oil. $3.99 a bottle and I think I would need 4 of them. And I do know about the Energy Conserving thingy.

Walmart has it for about $12 a gallon (you'll only need one).

Wal-Mart and Target is too far for me lol. I'll check Autozone and O'Reilly's.

I did this thread a while back as we don't have the Rotella over here:

I'm going with Castrol GTX 15w40 diesel oil...

[Flaming Chainsaws]

I hope this is the oil everyone is talking about? Cost me $16 a gallon.

[cowboyup3371]

It is. Good luck on getting it running.

Right on!

Finally got around to uploading pictures.

Z1 SS bolt kit.


Fuel hose. A bit small but it fit. The good thing about this is that it is a nice and tight seal. The bad thing (maybe) is that less fuel would get to the carbs??? I don't think it would make a difference though...


And the bottom end gasket kit. The brand is Cometic. Any good?


And finally, 15w-40 Rotella oil.


I will wait for my new to me stator cover to get here before I install any of this stuff. Should be here tomorrow or Tuesday.
