Today I hooked my bike up to the battery tender (was -32C with the wind chill last night; -24F for those south of the boarder) and bought some Damprid for my unheated garage.

Rode it about 100 miles from Houston to Beaumont Thursday night & froze my *** off lol. Then decided to do a wire tuck in the next few weeks. Since I will be messing with the wiring, decided to order parts for speedo relo. Then decided, since I'll be messing with the top clamp etc, I'd order a headlight relo kit from dk. And finally, since I'd be messing with the headlight; decided to get led replacement bulb. Lol.
Basically tuck job job that would only cost me zip ties and self adhesive tape turned into a couple hundred $ project lol.
Happy holidays to to me I guess lol

pinion gear, jackhammer cams, case buttoned up
Installed a Hammer Performance brass pinion gear, Jackhammer 570 cams
& buttoned up the cam case.
The original gear looked perfect, but better safe than sorry IMHO...

Forgot to add that the original cam drive gear was so tight on the shaft
that I had to run up to Autozone to rent a puller to get it off.....

So far today I've got the oil hoses tightened up & started on a few
other projects. But I cant decide if I like the front sprocket cover or
not though - opinions? It's easy enough to change so no big deal one way
or the other.... (chopped cover removed in pic below)
