Bone head move
Brown truck shows up late this morning with my new AN big sucker. I think, I can get this installed before the wife gets home for lunch, and since I'll be running the stock cover for now, this is one she does'nt need to know about 
.
Everything is going smooth, all bolts loctited and torqued, banjo bolts thread sealed and torqued, I'm just going to get er done under the wire.
Go to the bench to get the cover, lift the cover and there is the carb gasket, hiding under the cover! DOOOHHH!!!
Did I get it back together in time.... NO!
Moral of this story..... Wait till your wife goes back to work, after lunch, before you try sneaking a new part on your scoot!
Cheers... Ben.

Man you could have just hid the box and gave her the old "Changing the Blinker Fluid" excuse for working on the bike. Hey and while she was home you could have had her get you a beer!

Used up the "changing the blinker fluid" excuse the other day when I was installing the chrome carb top.

RE: Bone head move
when I get my stuff from the brownie, it always arrives before I get home....and i get home before my wife does...SSWEEEET!
...and then, of course, I put it out in the shed where I only have a key....he-he!
but then the weekend rolls around and while I'm lounging on the couch watching a movie or a football game, my beautiful wife comes home from shopping and asks, "what did UPS deliver the other day, hun?" ....and i'm like, "?!"
to which she replies..."Sue said UPS dropped something off."
...Sue is the neighbor across the street who can't mind her own god-damned business!
...and then, of course, I put it out in the shed where I only have a key....he-he!

Tell the wife the brown truck is dropping off a counter-intelligence eliminator...........
Then have the brown truck drop off a flaming bag of dog chit on Sue's front door. [8D]
