Really looking forward to the rotor upgrade. Can you post a pic of the brake splitter?

Finally got some decent weather my heat was less than desirable in my out buiding so not much progress this winter added a few more lights in my paint area did some scratch removal on my stator cover a little polishing but gonna have to remove it for any real progress

the weather is starting to turn gettin a little excited about getting the bearings changed and the front end swap hopin to get my brake lines soon the surgery has slowed things way down foot still keeps bustin open and leaking but finances say cant stay off of it so work I must do

did some semi spring cleaning today have a REAL job interview tomorrow Think since the goldwing just needs a battery oil change and a spring once over I will at least be on 2 wheels before the month is over I keep forgetting I have something else to ride just not that interested even though it handles so well my KZ is my real rider

Best wishes on the interview Ram.

Wayne

What he says man,, rock that interview!

Thanks Guys! Interview took 4 hours of paperwork and say they will make a decision
next month. On a good note had another interview yesterday and they scheduled another
for Friday with the owner. Have a good feeling about this one it's in sales but gotta
get my feet wet again it's been a while.


So while I wait I decided to work on my bike today a little chilly for Paint work LOL
pulled the valve cover this is what I found never had one off so I'm not sure where to go to adjust valves gonna grab my manual (found it in my tool box been lost for 8 months LOL)

Also gonna see what its gonna take to polish while I have it off. Son inlaw comming to get his bike jack tonight so I need to get the bearing swap done today also

Races came out reletively easy getting ready to attempt to install
the new ones All Balls of course any insight or tricks are welcomed





Had to edit this post I have put off changing bearings for a while now
wasn't sure I could do it without tearing something up but really went
together pretty easy

now I am ready for my other components got to look at
one of my rotors finished last time I was up north at Les' seriously getting
excited about my new front end wont be going back to Doc for a couple months
guess I'm gonna have to make a trip up need to pick up his tank and tail for
the finish work.

so the new job is going well. Well... sort of 63 hours of work and 10 hours of
drive time hasnt left allot of time for working on project the foot is healing fine
today was the first day without any pain relievers

anyway not enough time to get up north so guess I am gonna do a quick throw it back
together so I can make the blessing of the bikes on may 5th at least I hope

pictures to follow was thinking rebuilding the forks but like I said i'm limited on time
