Yea I thought about that. I have a pretty decent tap and die set but no chasing bits. I've been keeping a close eye on it and there barely any shaving coming out. Minimal for sure.

Yep, it's gotta get done at some point, I don't know that I would call this part fun but it's necessary. And I've been doing plenty of thumb twiddling, I'm anxious to start reassembly! I'm horrible at waiting, I have zero patience haha

Haha, I knew that was eating you

Man, I haven't rode since, like since maybe a week after I did the cams :ico n_cry:

Still got snow out my door, temps were down to below ZERO at night for a couple weeks

But, I did manage to drop off my Wernimont front fender at the painter today so got something going on there, and ya never know, maybe something else

I got my Craftsman 40 piece Rethreading Set(#52105) on EBay for about $45 - probably use these little tools more that anything else, money well spent.

No doubt, winters suck for riding

I could handle living in Reno again, the biggest little city has it going on with great rides just out the door in all directions and everything one needs and everything one doesn't need but wants

That's it, "we're going back on the grid!"

Starting to come together Monster Man. Love the black and gray. This motor is going to be a true Monster.

I'm still awaiting parts on my Sportster Cafe project.
