At the next wrench party I attend, i will be desmogging the black bike. I'm using the Shiny Desmog kit from Redeye http://redeye.ecrater.com/p/8464393/shiny-desmog-kit-chrome-hondaAt the next wrench party at my house, I will be rebuilding the forks on the black bike and installing Progressive springs. I throw this out as bait for any of you who might be interested in doing the same or just learning how so you can do it yourself. |

At the July meeting, we offered to host a wrench party after the heat subsides a bit. Currently looking at Saturday, September 22nd (corrected date). We can discuss on Thursday and finalize the date.
I too am considering upgrading to the progressive springs on the front. Would also like to verify the carbs are balanced, now that we run on 6 cylinders.

At the next wrench party I attend (seems to be a tag line) I would like to go to the Dark Side. Also need to install new bushings on my Progressive springs, which I have and may have 2 extra if I don't damage any installing them.
Blessings

Saturday the 25th is my 36th wedding anniversary, so I won't be able to make it on that day. If the date changes, let me know.  |

I'll be out of town (Hot Springs) that weekend but I'm sure there are a few others around who would love to plan a lunch or dinner and hear tales from the northern outpost of Texas. Congratulations, Grandpa! |
