    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Actually, it's just the custom made titanium exhaust. The owner of the bike is guy in Britain who's also getting a custom exhaust made. They (Racefit) are just using his bike as a mock-up. ;)
 
Third day of my complete rebuild. On the first day I got it down to the frame. Second day I ripped apart the top end. Today I got into the bottom end. Now all that's left is clean-up, paint, and assembly.

Got the (hopefully) right size pilot jets today and put them in. Also wire brushed the spark plugs clean so I can get a proper reading next time I'm able to kick her over which should hopefully be Friday.

Hopefully that's the day she gets registered if the weather cooperates :D

R&R'ed the heater blower motor on the 300. oops, in today's lingo that would be changed out the blower motor...

Jacked up and removed the rear wheels from the daughter-in-laws Intrepid. it's going to need brakes. thankfully I have my torches back at the house as those rotors look like they are a bit rusted in place.

R&R =R2, or........... simply "remove & replace"
R3= "remove, repair, & replace"
a little Air Force gee whiz maintenance lingo.
 
R3= "remove, repair, & reINSTALL"
But that's splittin hairs... LOL
