Ok, so safety wiring the bike tonight. Then I think I'm 100% ready to go.
Just need to get cash outta the bank and find a gnome...
Are you already drilled, or are you just starting that tonight?
Nothing drilled yet....
I'm far from an expert on this, but I have done it recently...
I tried 2 very different methods of drilling (I don't have a drill press).
I started with what I considered the right way, which was my corded 1/2" drill with a solid mechanical chuck. For drilling I was center punching the face, then putting it in the vice and drilling away (using some left over fork oil for cutting oil, not ideal, but better than nothing). I broke bits like mad.
One time I decided to get my handy dandy coordless screw gun with a hand chuck and try that. Worked much better than the "official" drill. Bits might "spin out" of the chuck, but rarely broke. I might have to reverse them out, but they weren't breaking. Cut my drilling time in about 1/4" once I'd switched from doing it what I believed to be the correct way to doing it the way I discovered to be easier. YMMV.
You're clear on what requires drilling?
Mostly...
Depends on who you're talking to?
Oh that's directed 100% at me. Jim, you win and I will let you buy me a beer, sound good??
I need a 3 inch hose clamp for my oil filter.....damn these Ducati's have fat filters....
Anyone help out??
I went to the hardware store but they had none.....and I'm at the track already
Home Depot and Lowes is just down 106 in Concord. There's also an Advanced Auto. I think I might have one at home, but I'm just as far from the track as those places are.
Thanks guys...I will head to home depot after today's sessions...
If they don't have one that fits, maybe you can link two of them together.
Home Depot will have one that works, plumbing dept.
Miles had one...I think it was $642 dollars.
I'm sure I have one in turn 1a. Swing by and say hi

Pretty sure I have one.
Two rookies I know are garaged with Faucher & co in center 2 or whatever that is. When I left they were tucked in and in need of an adult beverage.
Do our new rookies have numbers???
