        Cleaned out the front master cylinder and determine I definitely need a new tail light now.

          Went through the rear wheel: wheel bearings, brakes, splines, etc. Starting to see light at the end of this tunnel.

            Finally got the missing disc pad shim in the front brake, so hopefully no more squeaks tomorrow.

            Also finished the bracing for the bench grinder which means I now have a shelf to put the grinding wheels, polishing wheels, and wire wheels:



            Even more bench space now available

                Go for it Greg! I should have heaps more room to move around the wheels with it there now, plus all my bench space is free

                  Welded new shock mounts on the Z1000 Mk.II.

                    Last couple days, I worked on snow mobiles. There was a seized rear suspension shaft on the '91 Indy Trail Deluxe. Pulled the rear suspension, dismantled, cleaned and lubed the offending parts and reassembled. Also pressed a shock bushing out of some old suspension that was laying around, and pressed it into the rear shock while I was in there. The suspension is in close to perfect condition, especially considering the 4300 miles.

                    I also messed with a few 1/32 slot cars. Channelled the bodies to lower the bodies on the chassis on two Lotus Cortinas, and on a NSU TT. It makes them handle better.

                      Beautiful weld as usual.

                            I spent a little time on the '77 750 today and and discovered that the battery is done for. Rats.

                                Good Times, that engine looks too good all polished up and with new side cover stickers.
                                You might as well just give it to me.
