You meet the nicest people working on a Honda!
Today, Logan and I got the chance to meet Mark (mark52) and his brother, Barry. Mark had driven up from his home in Tallahassee to visit his brother for the weekend and to work some more on his 75 CB750, which is at Barry's house here in the suburbs of Atlanta.
Since they were going to be in the area, we offered to let them come over and see Stella and I get to go see Mark's 75 tomorrow as well. We first met Mark on line as he is the one who so kindly sent us a sweet, pristine rear chrome fender for Stella. He had purchased it for his bike and found out it didn't fit. When he offered it, I tried to pay him for it but he refused. So I at least got to buy him and his brother dinner tonight and we all 4 had a great time sitting there and talking. As I said at the dinner table, one of the great things about this build is that Logan is getting to experience the genuine kindness and goodness of the other people on this board and learn life lessons from some of the people we have met.
While they were here, Mark helped us get the back wheel onto the bike since we were ready to do that part.
We did have an issue in that the rear axle and the bolt that go onto it don't seem to be wanting to mate easily. I'm afraid of forcing it onto there too much for fear of cross-threading one or both. Bill, do you have a tap and die set big enough to handle the rear axle and the corresponding nut that goes on it?
