Project set back by +400investment in squirrel elimination devices.

1 Have a Heart trap $54 netted on tree rat in 8 days
2 several baits, corn, bird seed, sunflower seeds, decon, severa others $30+
3 Spanish made Gamo air rifle, 4to9 scope, scilencer, targets, and .177 caliper PBS shot $313 with the tax.


Wanted to be humane but found the little buggers in my rear gutters yesterday. War was declared, peaceful effort abandoned.


Took an hour to sight in at 40 feet, not a bad pattern, result two tree rats donated to local scavengers!


Not a lot to do with an F0, but an interruption to my project.

Time & Money.

I returned the rope block & tackles, I could not make them work smoothly enough.  These chain falls allow me to raise both ends at the same time.

Northern Tool, did not give me too much trouble about giving me a refund for the ropes. This is much better, amazingly the same price for a 1 ton chain fall...

This is the one I use, it is a small trolley in deep channel unistrut. I anchored the unistrut  to the ceiling by placing another standard depth strut above the joists and using long carriage bolts going up with double nuts on top. It's available in commercial electrical supply stores. I have pulled a 567 cubic inch big block chevy with the transmission on it no problem.

Looks nice, do you have a lock for the trolley?

I am tied into six 14" deep open web trusses, right under the wall to my bonus room above.  No evidence of any movement.  Not sure I would pull a V8. but sure I could pop the engine of my Miata if I wanted to.

Once I remove the motor I am sure I will be able to store the frame well above my 5'10" head.




With the bike in the air easy to see some of the hidden damage from being dropped including the brake lever being broken and re-welded.

I had a 750 with the top fins JB Welded back on and it lasted no problem. This was a rather crude job but it looked ok from 5 ft. So it can be done.

Good project!

How long did the glue stand up to engine vibration?


I am attempting to cut off the tires, damn old stiff rubber is a bugger. 

I have cut a section out of the tire with my multi-tool but am struggling to get the bead so I can peal the tire out of the rim.

Hard with a cracked rib.

The F project is dead, Nikkisix is using the front forks and triple clamp to build a Triumph chopper/bobber,

If you want any specific parts let me know and I will see if hat I have is worth shipping.
