Topic: What did you do to your bike today ?

[Really?]

HOARDER!!!!! 

+1....I know the feeling!  Love the crates, great idea, I have a need for those too.

I wanna help unload some of that stuff for ya.  Just kidding.

[Tews19]

adjusted the clutch, tore apart the front caliper and cleaned it out... Member mikekato helped with it. One of those frustrating days where nothng seemed to go well.

Productive day in maduncle's shed.

Between rebuilding my steampunk rocket pack and restoring an old industrial lamp for my wife's shop, I managed to strip and polish the CL450 top triple, and strip and prep the lower triple for powder coating.



I have been thinking about how to cover the section of pitted fork tube between the triples, without using stock 'ears'.

Has anyone ever found 35mm ID stainless or chrome plate tube for sleeving forks?

[MCRider]

Some have mentioned using chrome plumbing pipe, there is a size that is close.

[tweakin]

Great idea.  I am starting to get a few engine scattered around in the garage.  Might need to do something similar to stay organized.

Finished up my stackable engine crates to help better organize my shop:

Not today, but yesterday.

Rode to the local Harley shop for free food and drink.

Was the only vintage Honda there..................................

I used to work at a Plumbing Supply house and we sold 1-1/4"x 12" chromed tube that would be just right if you cut a slit lengthwise for it to expand around the fork. We also sold 1-1/2"x 12" that would work too, but you would need to bush that some how, perhaps with old fork seals. The 1-1/4" would stay in place on it's own and you could turn the slit toward the inside, out of site.

Yeah, I know, the top one is a DOHC ( ) that found its way in. Soon as I can find a home for it its gone! Anyone need a 79' 750 DOHC engine? Free to good home... (minus the crate)

Ya know, the one you'll need next will be the one on the bottom.

Still, a good idea and looks good too.

Rode about 50 miles.  Just as I get home the sun comes out!

[Bailgang]

Set the valve lash, changed the plugs, checked cam chain adj, synced the carbs and it's running great. My wife and I just got back from a 20 mile ride.

[S_Spiff]

My first time adjusting valves and camchain, but no ride today because of weather.  I'm ready when it breaks though.

Looks good Cliff. Re: the fork covers, try Capral Aluminium in Campbellfield, they sell aluminium tube in lots of sizes, or Handy Steel Stocks in West Heidelberg might have some 35mm ID exhaust tube? Cheers, Terry.

I sorted out my unique horn.  It  would honk only on steering hard right,  which is highly impractical in real traffic situations:)

The wiring is full of patches, I  will need to repair/rebuild it  for good, when I have the final handlebars and turn signals.

And if you change your profile settings to only display 5 posts per page you would see 2000 pages!

[Hablo]

Replaced my tail light bulb with an LED.  It'll do the job but it's just not as bright as the old bulb.

[LesterPiglet]

Fitted my replacement rear fender.
