Kaw-a-holic, What news on the clutch conversion? Are you busy with it or are you waiting for me to mess mine up first??

Haha, no Davido, just time. It's that time of year that it is miserable in the garage in Mesa, AZ. It's been triple digits. I was also waiting on my slave cylinder to arrive. I am currently on my second cardboard template. Will transfer it to MDF and then cut a whole for the slave cylinder. Maybe I'll get some of that done done today.

Don't you have a swamp cooler or something? Even Bossie has a A/C and swamp cooler in her shed. She don't care but I do.

No Steve, but I have been looking at how to make one for cheap. Need to put some insulation in the attic above the garage also. Its not my house, I'm renting so I don't like making someone else's house better.

Love this bike but some days it is not easy. Finally got the Cylinders and head back on just to discover that the #13 hole in the cylinders is stripped out. My question is what do I fix it with? Heli-coil or Time-cert? Time-Cert is better but doesn't it need a much bigger hole?

Heli coil. Just pick up the tap and a bag of four. I just send them down with a small screw driver. Back and forth little by little until in. You have that collar to deal with.

Used window A/C and a fan. I use to bring a small one to visit my mother. No smoking inside. Half the party was outside smoking with me.

Timesert will work. You may be able to find a shop that will fix it fairly cheaply. Ed

$35 at Fastenal.

thanks for the feedback I'm concerned that the helicoil won't take the 30 pounds of torque that I need for the head.

That's 104 inch pounds.
