    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

what did you wrench on today??

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.

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.

Thanks guys, I'm feeling better most days...with set backs here and there...Started physio and been a bit sore from that...felt good to be out in the garage for a while but boy did I pay for that night...did not sleep well at all...
Patience :(
 
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.
