I was going to desmog the black bike, but it also needs new front springs (I've had all the parts for over a year.) If you're doing fork springs, maybe I will too. |

Your bike looks awesome - very classic shot.
I've been toiling away at work to pay for my addictions, and hope you are all doing well. Rode my 1990 Honda CBR1000F Hurricane 275 miles this morning with the BMW Fort Worth club, had a great ride despite the heat. Will bring it to the next monthly meeting...watching for the announcement for date / time / location...
Planning on making the wrench party on the 22nd; appreciated all the help at the mini-wrench a few weekends ago. The new center stand is nice to have in the garage, fer sure.
Be safe out there - looks like another week of broiling, then a welcome break on Saturday.

Count me in.
I don't have anything major to do, but I do have a couple of minor electrical tasks that need to be straightened out (cigarette lighter adapter & 4-way flashers). Or, if electrical is not the theme of the day, I have another minor task that will require extra hands, minds, and some advance planning...
Thanks, chauffeur! Thanks, passenger!

I'll likely be there. I have a sneaky suspicion I'll be doing some rear fender re-wiring. Seems the Falken is too tall with my current setup. More details to come, back to my vacation.

I might even make this party! The only thing that I might need help with is my audiovox cruise control if I don't get it fixed ahead of time!  |

Hate to miss this one. Got the ovarian cancer walk tomorrow with the family. Might try to get by in the afternoon.
Hay, I'll be real interested to hear how the clutch job goes down south. Mine's not slipping yet, but it's lost a lot of friction zone play and no amount of bleeding has helped restore it.

Looks like I'll be able to attend this party. Had work in Kilgore today and took the Valk. What a great way to go to work. Rolled 350 miles and definetly need to install the bushings. See those fortunate ones tomorrow at breakfast.
Disco, want to meet up 0n 380 somewhere then go to Lewisville?

I would look at the relay under the right side cover. Well, you will have to do more than look at it! Though the original above looks like an oem kinda skinny relay thang, it is replaceable from a local car parts store, or at least it was back in '08 or '09. Easier to check under load (google or have VP work his magic), or just buy a new one to try rather than digging out the bulb for sure and lots cheaper than the mc dealer. If it is not the relay, you now have a spare, Chuck. Anybody need their deck refinished? Looks pretty good, eh! I do hire out. ~Jeff DOH! That's why I need youse guys to look 'er over. [/quote] |
