Rebuild those when you adjust the valves. Add a filter. Beauty bike.

king of cheap...i scored a cool pallet months back and knew it would be my tire bench....dumpster dived the lumber for legs and saturday built this bench...
my nephew was having a visit so i had my little helper today...anyways the jardine had to go for the next look...also with no current MKII center stand i used a hunk of redwood and stood on the bench lifting the bike while he blocked it up...

simple bench took an hour to make including tool time...made it tall for me ...

i told him...losen all the exhaust...dont drop any stuff

hahahahaa

ceramic coating place called me back...sand blasted-two coats ceramic black...150-175...i'm on deck for two weeks to drop it off...best part..local ,about 15 minutes away!!!!




have not found a local coating gig for this and may just go flat black....would like to have it ceramic coated and still calling around...mocked it up just for kicks while the jardines off

the rear pads were shot...but the fluid was even better...it was the worst i have ever seen...i had no real rear brake and avoided using it this time around...works nice now..need a newer disk still....next time

the rear fluid looked like A-1 steak sauce....and took five or six empty out on this 16" bleed line before new stuff cycled through...wonder what the front will look like...

note....the stuff in the resevior was clean...the lines were full of gunk and it looked decent from the see through level area...

like my bead breaker..it was how my buddy taught me back in the day..and it works fine if you know how to do it

the driver/tire of the car goes back and forth while another guy rotates each time the car is off...as close as you can get with out hurting the cars tire or the rim..and soon.....pop

then the fun begins...

i left the rim locks off (into the stock parts saver storage box they went)...and wrapped duct tape..i may use some plugs from a carpenters screw cover dealy...


that old Metzler (saved it too ) was hard as a rock and super hard to remove....the Avon went on like butta
