what did you wrench on today??

[Guest]

Looks like mine was quite boring compared to others!

Did a bit of a repair on my touch up spray gun, see if it holds up tomorrow...

OH MAN Dan! I LOVE Rocket 'birds. I am soooo jealous. Mom bought a used '64 (first year for the Landau style) from the dealer in '66. I remember it well because she traded her 1 year old MUSTANG to get it
Hind sight is 20/20!
You are so lucky to be in Nevada because I also remember Dad and I DRIVING it to the junk yard and getting $60 for it. Here they salt the roads in the winter and it ate classic car bodies like candy.... After that we bought a '72 Torino station wagon

Never had a problem with them in the snow.
With limited-slip posi stock, they are a hoot on 6 inches of packed snow on the highway at about 45-50 mph.
Just touch the gas and go side-ways a few feet, while spinning both wheels, in complete control.
Our white '64 we called the Snow-Bird.

I bought and began working on this today, an '01 Katana 600. It needs a few things like a tire, chain, and some plastic repair. Not bad for $650.

Valves

Valves

Helped adjust the valves on 2 of my 3 650g's, with Mr. Steve's considerable knowledge and experience. This site is truly blessed to have such amazing people as Steve, offering their expertise freely, patiently, and incredibly informatively. Count me one of the blessed.

I helped adjust valves on 2 of recycled64's 3 650s.

I consider myself 'blessed' to be able to travel around and look up other GSR members.

Dropped the oil pan on my bike. Everything looks clean up inside, no metal in the pan... Now for the task of cleaning the gasket mating surfaces to prep for the new gasket!! This should be fun!

Have you started therapy yet?

I got the last (I hope) 3 clear coats on, did a huge clean up in the garage, then did a little polishing and grinding...

Started to put a couple bikes away today. I did however take my 1123 super F out for a little blast. Air temp almost 60, road temps somewhat less. No big zipping on corners, BUT, I did carry the front wheel in 3rd gear @ 80 + mph @ 75% throttle. What a weapon

 

[Guest]

No wrenching as such, but did a huge clean of my working area in the garage so I'll have somewhere to put my tank etc. safely away once I pull down the temporary booth.

 

[keman]

fixed my front brakelight switch, replaced rectifier/regulator, charged the battery...

 

[sschering]

Hauled my 77 XS-400 off to it's new home at with a friend of mine.

With the new found garage space I dragged the 78 GS1000 out from the side, stripped off the tank, seat, tail, highway bar, and exhaust.

I need to get it down to the frame and off to be power coated.

Also did more work on my 87 Mustang Notch but that's a different forum

Part 2 of my clean up... I have a clean workbench again!

[redstedman]

Rainy day today, shop maint time. Got the CBX up on the lift, will start maint & clean up, valve adjustment, etc.

I made me an overhead light for my workbench in the garage.
Couple of 10W halogen lamps strapped to an extra wheel. :dancing:
The on/off switch hangs down to the left

I went for a good ride on my 1100E. I purchased a low seat last week and rode with it today. I had a super comfy travelcade on it(and love it) but I wanted to check this seat out .
Not many days left for us up here.
What a good bike
