Better clean the old lady’s dish good before you put it back, lol!

 

No kidding, mine gave me hell for using her hairspray for grip glue and I forgot to bring it back in the house.

 

Installed a led light... A three beer job. Actually half-a-beer job but wasn't expecting it to fit so had some spare beers with me.

 

Refilled the transmission with fresh new oil (1 quart)

 

LOL. Yeah, I think I'm going to get one of those drain pan thingies that go with the J&S jack.

 

Finally got around to doing new exhaust. The bike had Samson Cannons and a set of XIEDs on it when I bought it:



Which I replaced with a Bassani Road Rage 3 and a Micro EFI tuner from Fuel Moto.



It was pouring down rain when I finished, so had to settle for an in the garage after pic, and I hadn't swept up yet when I took it, thus the evidence of the mid project Nerf gun war with my 5 year old.

 

Installed my new Power Commander V and it was warm enough to give her a test ride, man what a difference it made. It feels like a different bike to me.

 

Sanding n' blending ....



a bit more to do ......





getting close to done sanding



I've had that swivelling fixture since 1981 !


I'm sanding / blending / cleaning ......... maybe a valve /seat reface ..... this weekend . It's cold outside !!!!

 

That looks great gearhead! I like your shop!

Tonight, I drained the old oil. I will let it drip out overnight. I did not have the correct tool to remove the old oil filter so I poked holes in the old one with a screwdriver and hammer. Damn that sum-bitch was on there. I chipped the frame a wee bit, which I don't mind that much; but over time the chips add up -next thing you know your bike is a piece of ****, lol.

I put a nice new shiny new chrome oil filter on there. All the magnetic drain plugs for the three fluids were clean and clear. I suppose that's a good sign. It sure isn't a bad sign.

 

You do know that black oil filters are faster?
