what did you wrench on today??

[GregT]

Well, I'm glad I can provide some humor to your day.

At the moment, it's the little things that amuse. No offense intended. Clearing the decks here prior to another go-round in hospital.

None taken. I was genuinely glad I could provide some amusement.

Ugh. I think I have a failed lifter.

Got my old refurbished Kerker back on my Cooley...a buddy fixed all the "curb dents"...some pin holes and fixed the loose baffle and repacked it. And he had his buddy ceramic coat it...is chose a satin finish...very happy.

Looks great Trevor. Glad to see that you're keeping your mind and body occupied.

 

[cowboyup3371]

I agree with Glen; how are you feeling?

 

[GSXR7ED]

Good job, Trevor!

Nice to have two Cooleys! I can take one off your hands...what’s your price? Lol

Glad you are also staying busy/occupied and your body is healing.

I had a Kerker like that on my GPz550. Loved the sound.

Spent lunch time today getting the FZ1 engine back in the frame. Getting there.

 

[ddaniels]

[ddaniels]

Got it running today and everything sounds good.

Finished with carb rebuild on the RD400 that's been sitting. Spent Several hours with a Harbor Freight hot glue dent puller working on a couple places on the tank. Needs more. I'm getting used to it though. It won't fix everything. There are 3 dents, the small ones are stubborn. I'm waiting to make the tank look a bit better before I put gas in it. Practice with the tool helps. The reat fender mount /turn signal mount it out for chrome. I did some clean-up polishing on the rear fender and right fork leg. Headlight isn't working. All was fine when I parked it, except the couple dents and the fender mount. Hoping to sell at a decent price.

I assisted the neighbor kid pull the heads off of his Harley. It doesn't even have overhead cams! LOL @ Christopher!

Flashed the software on the infotainment screen of my 2017 Civic, freeing it up from it's previously locked up state. It was a royal battle of hacking at the system through removing fuses, resetting the system, pushing random buttons to get the system to unfreeze enough to allow the flash etc. Modern technology is great...when it works. And Honda's customer service sucks.

Started taking the GS1000 apart tonight. Going to do a deep cleaning on beast this winter. I know it looks fine in the photo but it's actually been 10 years since it's had a thorough going through front to back, or in this case back to front. Clearcoat's been shabby on the clutch and stator cover for quite a while so they're going get a polish finally. Probably also finally replace the rear shocks. The bike has just barely 50,000 original miles on it and with everything set on firm they're still quite good for solo riding but it's time to open the wallet. They're not going to get any better with time. LOL. I've had a complete rack of proper Suzuki VM28's from a '79 Euro spec "S" sitting on the shelf staring at me for a few years so I'm going clean them up and give them a try. The bike is stock so with stock jetting they should be pretty much a direct swap and easy to setup. If not I'll just stick the 26's back in and sell them. Going be a long cold dark winter with this Covid thing so need to find stuff to do. Maybe get out the sawzall and put a cafe seat on it .....just kidding, just kidding.
