I tore apart my back wheel so I can replace 4 broken spokes. Wheel is being trued at a friends shop then I need to repaint it. Waiting on a longer oil line from Ricky Racer and a good day to bring my exhaust to school so I can weld on my custom flange for the 2 Brothers carbon can.
Sadly it is perfect riding weather this week, hopefully I wioll be back on the road in 2 weeks.

I put 50 miles on the 350 doing errands. Nice day to be out on a bike.

Yesterday I adjusted the valves and cam chain on the 750 and did a carb synch.

Picked my bike up from the garage. Replaced a turn signal light, rode it.

I had the "perfect storm" a few weeks ago.
I leaned into the CL350 a bit to much in the garage and it fell over onto the 750K8, which in turn took out the CM185. All 3 lying on the floor

Today I removed the left rear turn sig from the K8 and straightened it out

No other damage.

Called my brother over to ride, got mine out, got his out, mine started, his 76 wing didn't. we screwed with the wing until it was cold and dark, he left. the bastard started, and I put them away.

Air in the tires, gas in the tanks, all in the dark after work.

Tomorrow will be a beautiful day again.

Polished and waxed. Still waiting on the carb boots n o-rings and the sync tool to come in.

Also ordered the big POR15 kit to reline momma's tank.

G'day Terry
Here are some pics of the Kawasaki sleeves and the blocks that they came from.
The blocks were ID'd from the cam chain adjuster hole. (Square or rectangular)
I think that this might be a mix of "Z", "KZ" & "GPZ".
The lip thickness was a PITA for Honda blocks, but that can be dealt with.
All of the Kwaka sleeves are sealed under the top lip, which is a good idea, unlike the O Rings on the 750 Hondas.
That Loctite is as mean as cat #$%*.
Give or take a bit with these measurements mate.
Mick.

Took a pressure washer to my 78F engine case halves. I look like a dalmation now. I have a guy at work who is going to glass bead them for me.

Took my mid-term and after class needed to right with the universe so I took her for a nice rather high speed run down the highway, nice cool mile high night and she ran like crazy. Got home and noticed fluid all over my exhaust in the same place I had brake fluid a week ago, oh man not this again! But it was not brake fluid, it was oil!

The vent line from the trans slipped out and sprayed oil all over the exhaust, I though I smelled something! Cleaned it off the exhaust and going to take her for a bath later, crappy weather tomorrow so she'll be clean sitting in the garage clean waiting for the weekend!

took it for a RIDE !!!!

Pulled out 3 of my 5 bikes, rearranged stuff in the garage so that I could make a path to my Battery Tender, and put the Tender on one of the bikes.

andy120t · « **Reply #1372 on:** March 18, 2010, 02:21:33 PM »

Had a parcel drop through the door with a pair of side panels, a torque arm, rear brake rod and some tank mounting rubbers. Can't wait for the weekend whan I can start to put them on!

Frankenkit · « **Reply #1373 on:** March 18, 2010, 04:13:13 PM »

Cleaned the 350's tank, finally. It's now rinsed out with iso heet and warming/drying in the sun. I am on my way out to the garage to start trying to reconnect everything in the headlight bucket (disconnected the right and left switch pods, and I might as well be colorblind for how much I can easily figure out on this rat's nest.

) When I'm done with that, or so frustrated I need to give up, I'll bring up the Frog tape and mask off everything on the tank that ought not be painted over... then the real fun can begin.

G'Day Mick, thanks for that mate, I can't see the pics as I'm at work and the defence firewall won't let them thru, but I'll check 'em out when I get home from Brisbane on Monday night. Cheers, Terry.
