The kit's coming to Albany next, if you want to stop by.

OK I got it saturday, sunday I was swamped with other people's bikes, monday, tue it has rained when I make it home, and today the whole day its raining.
I have to do it in my driveway, due to assorted crap in the garage. I will get it on the first sunny day and send it immediately after.
Cool.

I'm gonna pull a rangerbrown and bump myself down on the list.  I have a track day next week, and I don't want to start a mechanical job that I may not have time to finish.  I think I barely have time to get it track prepped.  Srinath, send it to domahmegok when you're done.

Sounds fine.

Kit is in da house, thanks to domahmegok.  I might get to it on Monday, or NEXT weekend.  EdChen or rangerbrown, let me know if you need me to move it along.  Otherwise I won't feel bad about taking my time.  ;)

EdChen

I'm ready whenever!  No big rush or anything, but the sooner the better of course. 

Thanks!

rangerbrown

I'd love to get it, think they might be starting to tap just a touch....but I'm scared to do it the 1st time solo...anyone close by? I'd supply the beer, or pizza, or sushi, or pb&j :)
P.s. This is a GREAT site!
If it comes out of your body you shouldn't be afraid to hold it in your hand! :o

rangerbrown

Done tonight.  Took longer than expected because all 4 valves didn't clear the 0.8 all the way down to the 0.3.  I thought I was going nuts until I realized I missed a decimal place.   :icon_rolleyes:  In the end only one valve was slightly tight, and since there wasn't a 255 shim in the bag, I just swapped out my 260 for a slightly smaller 260.  :)
