Best time, highs peek in the 80's and sunlight 24/7

 

[naughtyG]

does this also mean you have NO daylight in the winter?

Well, there are side effects to 24/7 daylight :biglaugh:

Yesterday: Finished taking valve clearance measurements and checking current shim sizes. I talked Sean into sending me the shims I need as the local stealer won't do swaps :bang head:

Today I replaced the rubber/cleaned the vboost manifold. I removed the old seals/cleaned/replaced with new seals the valve cover bolts. I also cleaned one fork tube in prep for installing the Race Tech springs/Emulators.

Hey I also ride an '86.

Out of interest, what your mileage, and how out of whack were your valves?

A little or a lot? Too tight or too loose? Any pattern? :ummm:

Thanks!

The intakes on the front cylinders were in tolerance. The rest were a little out but not bad.

I have 27k on the clock. My gas milage sucks, 23-25. I have a strong smell of fuel at idle, po had 160 jets(I put in 150's), 3 stage 1 needles and 1 stock needle. . I'm checking the float levels this week.

fitted my K series. 1 hour to install, 1.5 hours to cut off the center stand mounts with a whizzer and a 150psi compressor. I cut them off at the frame. I probably could have survived just removing them at the eyelets. I've got a ton of clearance.

Fitted my progressive 11.5 shocks and choked up on the forks an inch. It's um....low.

My RMSportmax wheel sits waiting for a tire. It's um, heavy heh.

 

[Mr. Pickles]

Oh, big ups on Mr. Furbur for cutting me a sweet deal on parts and the wheel. Thanks again John.

My engine cases are split waiting on my gears from pcw being undercut.I hope to have it together soon.

rubbed one off looking at it the man cave, splewed all over my new v-stax:eusa_dance:

 

[Mr. Pickles]

did you get them from exactrep? If so, how long did it take to receive them?

 

[Mr. Pickles]

rear wheel install was a PITA. I think I have a method now. First step....DEFLATE.

Installed the oil pressure gauge I got from COO. Nice unit, glycerin filled, very easy install! Of course I started it, needle shot right up to 65 psi. Pretty useless info tho, bike was at 55 deg. F and I shut it right off cause of being in an enclosed garage. Well, not totally worthless--I know the gauge works! :biglaugh:
Also greased up the pivot points and torqued the 412 Progressive's I got from Brother Fargo. Thanks again Bro. unk:

Rode mine another 100 miles today - still pulling strong! It's near-freezing tonight and for a few more days here, brrrrrr...

Picking up that bargain with the Venture motor tomorrow morning, dumping it in my yard and then I'm riding back to Orlando to work!
