I am teaching a MSF class this weekend lol. Have to be up in like 4.5 hours or so. Meh, I'm not worried lol.

I'll try to remind you tomorrow.

Speaking of that...I have to mount my shark guard too...how did you do it?

the Woodcraft one I have comes with mounting hardware. mark the holes, drill them, insert rivnuts, tighten them down. bolt guard on. I just must have overtighted one of the rivnuts when I installed it last year and it stripped at some point. good thing I safety wired the bolts to each other.

[JettaJayGLS]

My piston kit didn't come in yet...that means I need to find time to leave Boston a night this week and pull an all nighter installing that. After that I can FINALLY go through the process of getting the motor back in and finishing up the rest of the bike. Besides that, the bottom end is all buttoned up and is smooth as can be. Work has slowed a bit, but with a forced day off on Friday for obvious reason we'll see how next week goes. I'm determined though. Not sure when I am going to have the time to break in the new motor, lets hope I don't get arrested doing so.

As for the valves, I brought the head to my honda guy to take a look. He said they aren't terrible but need to be recut, so under his instruction I will be putting back in the stockers and racing this weekend then getting new valves and a valve job for the following race weekend. He suggested the kibble stainless valves as opposed to the titanium for a bit more longevity so I'm planning that route.

Haha thanks. Any particular style better for this application?

Just when I thought I was all done, I go and buy a new vehicle. Now I'm going to have to scramble to find a place to install a brake controller for the trailer.

Shouldnt take more then 5 min if your new vehicle is already wired to tow

Came with the tow package, so hopefully, they have a dongle for hooking into a controller.

[union]

What did you get?

[csmutty]

If not you just buy the adapter at advanced.

So your saying your current dongle doesn't work anymore...

[The Snowman]

What did you get?

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland w/ the 5.7 hemi.

So your saying your current dongle doesn't work anymore...

my dongle works fine. I don't need Cialis, yet.

[Rada]

I would vote for the heavy duty steel ones if it was me.. While the aluminum ones would be fine.. You are more apt to fuck up the threads over time.
We use 10's of thousands of these things a year at work. We make some specials out of aluminum and buy the rest in steel.

the ones from Woodcraft are like these http://www.mcmaster.com/#standard-rivet-nuts/=meuo3c

if I had thought about getting them here I probably woulda. bit cheaper than Woodcraft and I probably woulda went with a different kind. but Woodcraft also sells replacements.

[PPS26]

both of the sv`s dyno`d and ready to roll two motors in one week was a tough task...looking forward to being back at the track w/everyone and making a push at a lightweight podium this season...!

...wishing I had a drill press...

Drilling holes for safety wiring? I ruined so many bits and bolts doing this. Loading up the truck in just 4 more days!!

Nope, wiring's all done, had everything drilled for that last year. I'm trying to make a front fairing stay, I've got a .75" OD aluminum rod that I need to drill a .5" hole into one end, trying to do so with a $19.99 Black and Decker cordless hand drill just isn't providing the results I want.

[tsorfas]

That's a serious challenge! Lesson learned bike prep for 2014 season starts in early November lol
