It is one of those lifts! And I know about the pipes, it would be used in the cafe build up. :)

Look at the pic of my kit so far, there's a shop rag right there under the gloves. :) Notice there's a $20 bill too? I take good suggestions. :)

p.s. WOW those handlebars are LOW! Looking good!

p.s.s. "horrible freight"? Yeah, some of their stuff is junk, but those on a budget can pick out the stuff that's ok. They have some stuff that will get the job done, and dare I say it, even last a while.

Paper towels will scratch your face shield's plastic.  Carry a microfiber towel in your bike/kit.  I also pack an aerosol can of Pledge on the touring bike:  it will remove crayons, car wax (you have been warned!), grease, and just about everything else; it won't scratch any type of plastic (if you use a microfiber towel...); and, it is readily available everywhere.  If you don't have room for an aerosol can, try filling a small pump spray bottle with Plastic Polish solution.  Cheers!

Oh,the handlebars.Upside down stockersNew handle bars were out of my budget(sound familiar) at the time so those were my free "clubmans".They really werent all that bad to ride with to be honest.Its when i had those bars on there that Piute and Tools dubbed my bike the Water Buffalo

Actually,after i thought about it some more(my memory is poo)my Pops came up to look at the bike and was like"hmmm....looks like a water buffalo".It was not intended to be nice or funny.Tools instigated the name change and Piute ran with it.The dual head lights didnt help my case.Piute made this pic:
