That darn buffing wheel ...

[Steve]

In the process of removing and replacing a broken exhaust bolt on Mrs. Steve's bike, I had to remove the cam chain tensioner.

Somehow, on the way from the parts tray, back to the bike, I must have tripped (or was that "tripped out"?) and used the buffing wheel to break my fall.

Here are the results.











Other engine parts happened to get in the line of fire while the paint can was being emptied, I'll get some pictures of them later.

Yah missed a spot!

You need to be more careful or you'll turn in to an old buffer.

Maybe the play on words doesn't translate from English English to US English....

Thought you didnt like chrome??

That's pretty shiny for a hidden part that will never see the light of day.
I should have sent you those covers to do.

My bike would quit running if the shiny parts were that shiny, let alone the ones that are hidden and shiny doesn't matter...

Not sure about your definition of "buffer", but I SURELY don't want to be an old "duffer".

Thought you didnt like chrome??

Where did you get that impression?

Besides, it's not chrome, it's polished aluminum (or some alloy thereof).

This is the bike it's going on, so it will fit right in.

It may never see the light of day, but the LEDs might happen to reflect in that direction.

Sorry about your luck.

Sure sign of chronic cabin fever, Steve you need to get your azz on a GS or a Wing or whatever and get out, before it is to late.

[Flaming Chainsaws]

My engine cases are super oxidized and look like ****. They need to get polished.

[Steve]

Gotta get this one done so Mrs. Steve can get out on her bike.

Then I will be able to spend some time on my bikes.

The body parts for the Wing are painted, just waiting for them to get shipped back.

Junior is waiting for for seal replacement, otherwise quite ready to go.

I thought about doing that to my tensioner before putting it back on. But, once again Mr. lazy reared his ugly head. Oh well, no lights on my bike to reflect back in there anyway.....yet.
