Hmmmmm....

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.

[WDAN]

Would like to install my Stebel horn. Be good to go with no more mods that I can think of.

[Admiral]

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.

[Disco]

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!

[BuzzKill]

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.

[5_19]

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! 

[RainMaker]

I won't be there but hope everyone has a good time.

[chauffeur]

Time for a head count. 

Currently looks like 5 or 6 (VP, WDAN, TJ. Disco, ThagAndy, Admiral).

Anyone else? 

[Six Guns]

Looks like I should be able to make it.   

[BnB Tom]

prob-lee

[Timbo]

My plan is to attend just to distract everyone. 

[BuzzKill]

Looks like I wont be able to make it this time.  I've had a kidney stone since before Inzane.  I'm finally having a shockwave treatment and the soonest they can do it is Saturday. 

[Disco]

the soonest they can do it is Saturday

Sooooo, what's the hurry?   

[Valkpilot]

the soonest they can do it is Saturday

Sooooo, what's the hurry?  

Yeah.  Pull up your Hello Kitty Huggies and come to the wrench party.  Disco and I have an ultrasonic cleaner you can sit in.  It's just like what the doc will do, only different.

[BuzzKill]

Cheaper too I'm sure.  Do I at least get clean fluids?  Oh, they aren't Hello Kitty.  They're Star Wars. 

[Valkpilot]

Mine are Spidey.

[Hollyday]

"Mine are Spidey."

I would have thought you were a SpongeBob kinda guy.

[Christbiker]

Mine are Depends (at my age)  I'm a prolly if I don't go to Arkansas or work.  Need bushings and rear brake pads.

[Valkpilot]

Pffffffft.  Spongebob.  That woudl be juvenile.

[Disco]

Pffffffft.  Spongebob.  That would be juvenile.

But absorbent.   

[BuzzKill]

My appologies chauffeur on taking this thread off the "deep end".

If your end is that deep, it might not fit in the ultrasonic bath afterall.

I would like to attend but it all depends on work.

[Houdini]

I hope to make it, I have a fog light out and can't figure out why yet.

Yes, I checked the bulb.

[Valkpilot]

Yes, I checked the bulb.

What about the other bulb?

[Houdini]

Yes, I checked the bulb.

What about the other bulb?

[SideCar]

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.

[Red Diamond]

Any way I can watch this job Jimmy?

[Westsider]

Going to miss a good day and goo d food I know,,but have fam plans made already,  yall have a good one, I really need a new front tire to,, 12k on my current metz, and is now starting to handle like it... no complaints on the wear, installed at 8k and going to turn 20 any day now...Watch out for the cell phones n texters...

The black bike looks     is that your to chauffer Dave?

[SideCar]

Any way I can watch this job Jimmy?

Watch it? Heck, video it for us inquiring minds.   

[HayHauler]

I was hoping to help with you're carb sync.  Maybe we can do them at the same time.  But Mark is sick and I don't know if we can get the gauges before .

[Christbiker]

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?

Blessings

[Wanderer]

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.
