See...there i go again

Piute,you crack me up!!Pressures on you too big guy!!!I wanna see your putt going,too

Did a little more polishing tonight. Doing all this polishing on a bench mounted grinder kinda sucks.Everything gets flung in your face.Thought i was gonna have to shave my beard off,never washed my face with go-jo before. When i scraped all the grease off the inside of the chain cover i discovered a rubber on one of the pegs.Chain guides i suppose? Had a big and a little peg,only had a rubber on the big peg.It was a little bit chewed up,not too bad,looked like someone had reversed it at some time.I'm assuming i need one for the smaller peg as well????Guess i need to peek at manual

[TOOLS1]

I have never seen a rubber anything in/ on one. Also the parts fisch does not show any. Maybe a previous owner added it?

I'll get some pics to show what im talking about if you want.You can see where the chain has eat into the one with no rubber. What do you think about these?Catalog says they are for a K model.Should fit my valve cover though,right?

[TOOLS1]

They look nice. The valve covers are all the same. However that does look a little chopperish. Have, you seen the flat ones? I think Tommy Summers has them (lowriders by summers). http://www.lowridersbysummers.com/parts/index.htm

Mc RibsI almost fell off the toilet i laughed so hard,that was a good one Daddyman!!! I wonder what they do there?Just a bike show or is it at a race track.Gonna have to fire up google

I know Piute,ride , don't polish.I agree. I got a problem with going overboard.What can i say.You spray any of that cast paint yet?Curious to see what it looks like


Thanks Tools.   Sent your stuff out this morning. I'll Pm the tracking # for you.Theres a surprise in there ,too

[TOOLS1]

TOOLS

[Daddyman]

Ha! Thought you'd like that......You take your computer to the toilet with you LMFAO!!! You are a hard core CB Man now!

[shinyribs]

No Tools it wont blow up,im not the CB Uni bobmber

Hey,i'm sure im not the only that has ever took their laptop into the pickle factory before...???

[shinyribs]

Here are the rubbers i was talking about inside the sprocket covers,so much grease in there i didn't even know they were there.Thought maybe i had scraped out my smaller rubber on accident with all the gease,so i dug thru the trash today but found nothing.BTW,what is the deal with the auto chain oiler?Haven't found it.Should i turn it off?

I believe they(it) are factory installed by the looks of how it is molded

This one has been reversed at some time,had a lot of wear on the one side,but bike only shows 37,000 miles on it

Here is the smaller peg that is missing the rubber,you can see how the chain has dug into it,don't like that

[TOOLS1]

Yea, if, you can find it. Definitely turn it off. That rubber is a new one on me. It is important to keep the chain adjusted on these bikes. a lot of them have been destroyed because of the chain coming off. Honda recommends adjusting the chain every three hundred miles.

[shinyribs]

Every 300 seems like alot. I mean,you could do 300 miles in a day. Hey,whats up with the gold chains? I like that look.Where can you get one?

[TOOLS1]

Those gold chains are all over e-bay. You know. I have been looking at your sprocket cover, and think, you should polish the inside also. It would look a lot better. Especially when, you remove it to change sprockets.

[Piute]

..Gold !?!  Was paint to polishing to chrome now Gold,mmm were not going to get along are we,your talking like my brother,Don't think he will ride his much his wife will I know that,fake alligattor seat,neon lights,more chrome,l.o.l.

What is a sprocket cover?Naaaah,think i can let that slide. Got my case covers done tonight,working on polishing front brake caliper now.Having a @*%$* of a time getting the paint of off them.I guess that Japenese leaded paint was some good junk

Hold on now,Piute...if i remember correctly YOU are the one that told me cut and polished aluminum was good looking.I been cutting and polishing just for you

If i ebay a chain how many links do i look for and what brands/models to avoid?What is the going price for a gold 530 chain,and do they stay gold?I see they say they are brass plated,doesn't sound real durable,i don't know.Seems like about $64 for the one i need and free shipping.....i think thats all i got for now

[shinyribs]

All for you Piute:



Hey,Tools   I found a clamp for your pods on my workbench tonight.  OopsSorry    I'll get it to you
