Hardest two hours I worked since starting this job

[Brodie]

...moving back from the headers, time to put the U-joint, sidestand, shifter mechanism and footpeg assembly back in. Thankfully, no drama. U-joint lives behind the shifter mech. plate, BTW.

Slide yer ass further back, hang the Final Drive and mufflers since you've got nothing better to do.....oh, what the hell, while you're at it, throw a back wheel on there, too.

Did you remember to grease your splines?

No pics tonight. Nothing really worth documenting.

Just an update.....cooling system is back in.

All that's left is the throttle bodies, airbox and tank. Should have a run-test to report on Sunday afternoon.

:yahoo:

It's been so long since you rode a bike, you'd better get some training in before you go out by yourself. :scooter: :scooter:

Good going, though :clapping:

Good on'ya.

Be prepared for lots of 'little things' to slow your progress as you near the finish. Patience.

In the restoration biz, it's often said: "90% of the job takes 10% of the time -- and then there's 10% that takes 90% of the time." :blink:

Well, Bust: If he looks somewhere approximately near where he last saw his Nuts and his Mind, he just may find his Keys!!!

 

[dsmack]

This is a tough crowd this morning.... I love it!

C'mon, 'Howie...

[majicmaker]

Beads of sweat dripping down his forehead, Aching back, Scraped bloody knuckles, Elevated heartbeat. No Pressure though. :wacko:

Tick.....Tick.....Tick.....Tick..... :fan_1:

You can do it!! It's probably running right now and he's sitting there mesmerized at the beautiful sound that he hasn't heard in a while!! :drinks:

I'm saying a little prayer for you as I type! :dance:

 

[RadioHowie]

All of y'all can kiss my sweaty, greasy ASS! :wubsmiley:

Had to work yesterday <_< didn't get to hit a lick at a snake.

Been at it the past 3 hours, though.....

Just got the throttlebodies on. ****!!! One of the most precision parts of the bike, and it requires a hammer to get 'em back on! And it's a BEOTCH tightening down those damn little 3mm hex screws. Had to take a break. My back is killing me.

My son gives me a "well, Dad, too bad it won't be finished today." I give him a great big :****: you. Pretty much right now all I've got to do is fill up the cooling system, bolt down the fuel rail, run the throttle cables up to the grip, hang the tank and fire it up.

We'll see. Hope to report back in a couple of hours.

Told ya!

I might not have mentioned that part. Couldn't type that much stuff because my fingers were still bleeding.

My son gives me a "well, Dad, too bad it won't be finished today."

He needs to be hurt.

Oh, yeah! When you get there, don't forget the little hose under the air box. The one that humans can't touch with the air box in place, but that doesn't reach if the air box is lifted enough to get fingers into the space.
