Cool, then I can definitely make that work, I'll let you know once I've got the kit.

Hey everyone, sorry for disappearing again. I am planning on doing them this Thursday, once I have my 3 research papers and a presentation done. I swear, I'm trying to get to it, and I am doing my best.

A Saturday should work for me...as long as i have a decent heads-up on which Saturday it'll be. Sounds good!

Well, I'm sure some of you saw my post about my problems with the valves, so you're aware that I am officially now done. mk1incali, PM me your addy and I will get the kit out ASAP. Good luck, and my real only advice is to have the video by you as you do the job (if you can). I had my laptop in the garage so I was able to watch it as I worked. It was an awesome tool. And like Alpha told me, take your time and be patient. Getting the valve cover out is a Buddha Loves You, but I removed the zip tie that holds all the cables to the frame and moved them to the left as far as possible, and I was able to slide the cover in and out. With a little effort, but still.

I sent it to MK1, so it should be there by Friday.

Got the kit tonight when I came home from work, so I'll probably attempt to get the check done tomorrow night, unless I've got a date, which might be very possible.

I know I'll have it done by next Saturday, or at least know which shims I will need, and I've got one of the depresser tools, so I can do a shim install without the kit.

Guys, PM me your numbers/addresses and we'll plan on next Saturday for the valve adjustment party.

Hey Queso...does next Saturday work for you?

Most likely. See, I go into work at 7:30 pm Friday, and get home about 6:30 am saturday. I might have to go in around 4 or 5 on Saturday, though. I'm sure we can arrange something, though.

Guys, I got roped into working the closing shift on Saturday this week.  Going to have to make it next Saturday (the 19th).

I'm going to take myself off the list. I ended up buying everything except for the valve shims.

Could be a problem...the 19th is the Rich Memorial ACH ride. And if i remember correctly, Queso has to work...and my parents are coming in town. So, if that weren't the case, i would guess we'd both be group-riding...not valve-adjusting. 

If I can get that saturday off, I'm going on the group ride. I just bought a cage, though, so the bike can be ready for a valve adjustment whenever.

It looks like i might just have to wait for my position on the list (after veeref). My parents will be in town from Wednesday to Monday of this coming week...and then i have a friend from college coming in town the same days of the following week. So...i won't be able to get to it for the next 2 weeks. 

Hey guys...i need the kit too...i'm in san diego.

I need this tool before i leave on my trip to houston..so whenever its available..let me know

Thanks:)

Banner, I should be able to drop it off at your place/meet somewhere in SD on Tuesday, or if veeref wants it, I'll ship it to him and get the rest of you as order would have it.


To you LA guys, my apologies for me begging off, let's just say my bosses had an ear full of me complaining all day, especially since they knew I had something planned for this Saturday and still force me to swap shifts...

As long as its cool with the rest of the people below me, I'm fine with it.  Just ship it to me in Denver when you SoCal guys are done with it.

Peace,
Randy

Hey bro,
I can come pick up from you whereever on tuesday...as long as its cool with veereef and the others

Thanks

I'm done with it, none of my valves had moved at all in the ~11K miles since last checked them.

Took me ~2 hrs from start to finish, but I have pod filters and no frame-mounted petcock, and had done it before, alone both times.

Alright, to kind of move things along,    are you going to pick the kit up, Banner?  I'm still decent on mileage (around 7200), so I've got a few weeks until I'm due.

Regards,
Randy
