At 10F, nothing but look at it and plug in the battery tender for the first time since winter fell. I didn't plug it in after I put it in the air because I wanted to know about how long I could leave it before it was dead. Left it too long and still don't know. Less than 3 months... My bad.

Laid the new swinger on the table with it's partner in crime (sprocket) and started thinking about a custom axle...

 

I've got a pile of take off parts. About once a year I go through to find any that might have some value and sell them on here.

 

Went for a short ride today.

This is the "gardens area" @ Mission San Luis Rey.

Saw this @ an indie shop...

 

6AL-4V titanium 1 1/2" dia. $8.95 an inch....approx. 2 hrs machining on a conventional lathe. You've got me thinking now.

 

Beautiful part Chris!

Today I'm so bored (waiting on triple trees and shyt) that I washed this part, and posted a picture. If I have to wait much longer I might forget how to put this bike back together.

 

I have complete faith in the fact that you can do it correctly. Just keep posting pictures, to keep your mind whirling... tp dd50

 

Tried to replace the struct covers on my street bob without an jack. That didnt work so well. Ordered an scissors jack

 

 

well my thoughts were i could pull just the top of the shock off to replace the stock strut cover w a new chrome one. It wasn't budging though so i figured as long as i just pulled one shock at a time it would work. Nope, it dropped a bit. I could pick the *** end up a bit but not off the ground. Was fighting for like a stupid 1/8 of an inch more i needed to raise it.

i don't mind getting a jack but wish it wouldve been a more convivient financial time where i could've gotten a nicer one. Anyway it should be here by tomorrow night.
