Got the carbs synched Saturday and a few other things done.
The patient hooked up. 2 fans, one so that the motor doesn't overheat and die, and the other so I don't die from CO poisoning. Actually, with the wind Saturday that fresh air fan did squat, it was quite breezy in this room with the 2 garage doors open just behind it. You would think that someone in the HVAC field would have a fancy exhaust and fresh air system in their shop? Nope, chalk it up to the Shoemaker's Shoes, a couple of Walmart fans work fine. Well, at least I didn't make that Dumbest Ways to Die show this week.
Idle synch, the bench synch was pretty close, only number 1 was out, and not that bad.
Got the chain on and the rechromed chain guard on with new chromed bolts and washers. Ya know, I'm not much for the "Guido Gold Chain Look" but I do like a new Gold "O" Ring Chain. The passenger pegs got replated with new rubber. I had bought some repro whole units that were garbage. If you are going to replace the passenger pegs don't waste your money on the Ebay repro whole unit garbage, replate and buy new rubber.
Not the best pic for this but replaced the Kerker shock mount bracket. It is still their bracket but bent, drilled, and repainted to mount to the passenger peg bolt and rear lower brake assembly bolt. This mounting offers 3, instead of 2 mounting points, and is considerably less conspicuous then the Kerker top shock mount strap.
So, things are winding up here. I spoke with the Painter and the paint is coming together well and should be ready soon. Other items are a replacement of the front brake light switch and some odds and ends.
Got the seat finished today and it came out very nice. I had taken pics of the procedure and how I filled in some foam, and a couple other things I do. Oh, and I had a nice tip about how your Wife won't know you borrowed her iron but forgot to put the card back in the camera last night, (Damn Jaegermeister) so, no pics. You guys will have to wait till next Winter and the next bike to learn how to take greasy fingerprints off your Wife's Iron. I will tell you that I gave up on coming up with stories about the Blow Dryer and finally bought one, but I don't use her Iron enough to justify the cost. Next Step: Paint.
