Depending on initial condition, I usually start with emery up to 1000 grit or so, then move to compounds.

Trying out the new J&S Lift. I took the front wheel off the Harley-Davidson just a little while ago. Damn I think I'm going to love this lift! This lift is a zero regret purchase.

Dropped in a Wisamic LED lamp on the Street bob. It’s a big improvement over stock.

I took the front fender off. Now I can adjust the fork tubes precisely. I'm still waiting on an adapter so I can use my torque wrench on the fork tube caps. I'm tempted just to use my 1/2" breaker bar on them and just tighten them down well, but I suppose it's better to wait on the adapter and torque them down.

Nice to hear you're lovin' on the J&S, SixDD! Money well spent...

I understand why you've got the lift in a low locking position to make removal of the front wheel easier but you'll find the lift is its most stable at the highest locking position

stable because the arms are pointing straight up? I had it all the way up once. It is stable there!

Man, I'm loving this jack, and I know its gonna be loved more in the future.

Rode to work. Pulled in the parking garage got off the bike and seen I forgot my keys at home. ROFL. well lets hope she is there when I leave.

Good thing it is a gated garage and has camera ever where, and my office faces the only exit.

Got the fork brace back from the anodizer. I like the way it turned out. It seems to flow with the lines of the forks better than some I've seen. It's also not as bulky.

Only downside is I'll be losing it once I pull the front end and replace with the ODC inverted unit this winter. Probably be seeing the whole front end for sale in the classifieds soon!!

Finally got rid of that chirping noise from the front end of the frame. Clutch cable clamp on the down tube was letting the clutch cable vibrate against the 3Guyz oil filter relocation housing. Re positioned it closer to the housing to prevent movement and ordered a second one to put on the other side of the housing on the down tube to prevent all movement.
