looking good!
its harder for the rest of that link to come out as long as the plate is on there than people think,definately replace the clip though just in case

As you know, the plate is pressed on before you can even get the clip to seat. While we've been BS'ng I thought I'd throw on this stupid pricey, made in Japan LTD chain guard. I thought it was "old school cool" so I thought I'd throw it on.... I'm a little bummed about the obvious spot welds though.

I'm about froze here in the garage. There 'aint no way I'm plunging my hands back into that bucket full of water based solvent to retrieve my kick stand spring.... But! The kickstand took but an easy wipedown to reveal it's silver self.

oooooh... ahhhhh! Almost better than fireworks. I put the kickstand bolt to the buffer wheel too. It made it warm. I like warm right now....

I'll be down and out on Sunday getting ready for Monday and another 55-60 hour week. I'll leave you all with this. Not perfect but shiny enough to attract crows.

Enjoy!

sounds like you may work in the utility industry?

I'm just curious, where is this rum made? I used to live in the Caribbean and thought I'd seen and tried most of the rum out there. Never have seen or heard of this one.

I'm a lead tech for a nationwide telecom and data subcontractor. Doesn't pay nearly as well as should so I pull overtime almost everytime I get a chance.

Hey Joe!

No man, I'm a Capricorn, lol. Shoot I thought for sure you would've seen this since I posting like mad last Saturday night/Sunday morning.I was actually kinda sorta celebrating my birthday. My girlfriend Darla was working late and then had to babysit her grandson so she wasn't around.

Feel free to contact me on the weekends. I crash out pretty early during the week and work odd hours due to my job requirements.

Oh man, Moroso Motorsports Park was sold? Sorry to hear this.

Please feel free to ask me how or why I did anything on this bike and thanks for the compliment!

Got the tin back and I'm thrilled!

Here's another outdoors.

Here's some pics indoors in my shop.
