It's all good John. I'm doing everything twice, then trying to correct it! My latest debacle is a Keihin carb swap, definitely not like working on a small block chevy.
When I restored my G5, I felt that if I had a 50/50 chance on getting the part(s) on right, I usually got them on the wrong way. So I restored the bike twice in one restoration... some may call that a bargain, maybe
Because very simple jobs turn out not to be so simple. Replaced my T-3 front brake hand lever with a dogleg to allow me to get a better grip as I have small hands and some arthritis. Involves one bolt. Only took me over an hour not including the two trips to town to a machine shop due to the replacement handle not having a big enough hole for the bolt to go back through even though it was suppose to be model specific. Oh well...at least got it done. GliderJohn
Anything I do on the bike for the first time usually involves screwing something else up that I need to fix.I was so proud of myself getting the LH rear wheel bearing out on the V11 without a dremel-ectomy I took a pic of the successful result.
I'm in the process of putting the transmission back into my 02 Stone. About half done now and have also removed things I had installed to get something else to fit. I'm sure there is a correct sequence for the installation but I don't know what is it. I also have CRS (can't remember shit) so that doesn't help.The only problem is the hoses that are attached to the tank. I took the canister out so things have changed. I know where the fuel line attaches and also the top fitting by the steering head but there are two more that I am not sure about..Any ideas??Thanks Earl..
I also figure that if I can�t fix it there are 2 decent dealers within 3 hours that can probably fix what I can�t. And to me there is nothing like the feeling of sitting down with a couple beers and admiring the successful completion of the job, many times spent alone in the shop at midnight or latter. Life is good.Dave
