Come by Sunday? Take him for a ride?

Wish I could, but were going to race go karts at sykart before I go back to school, gunna be fun. Look at all your tricked out gs's hahahah... I cant wait to see it with the rest of the husky fairings on it.

Wow, I've missed so much since moving to Centralia! If I can't make it up to help out, I'll be sure to make it to one of the days for the International Motorcycle Show so I can see the bike in all its glory. GO DAWGS!

Weekend of the 11th and 12th will be busy. If all goes well this week, the 11th will be final cleaning, oil change and valve adjustment. Then we put on all the final parts.
Hopefully Aurora Suzuki will get in the new OEM brake rotors so the purple wheels will be ready to pick up Friday.

Things to do tomorrow:
* Tighten steering stem
* Put on horn

During the week:
* Chain guard (you all know what that looks like)
* Rear hugger (you know that, too, thanks to airbrush.)
* Monitor chain tension
* Always look for loose bolts
* Replace any parts that are not up to par
* Install the idiot LED battery monitor
* Figure out where to put a switch for 4-way flashers (yes, really simple to mod our bikes for this)

Saturday (might start Friday evening)
* Oil change
* Valve check
* Thorough cleaning
* Check every bolt, wire and thingie again
* If all is OK, put on the finished Huskies parts

Everyone is welcome to come over and help plus work on your own bike. Tools are out. Everything is a mess. So many projects lately. FUN!

dangit im 2k miles away. need a cheap plane ticket lol

All riding going OK. Tonight I must tighten the steering stem. With riding, the bearings have seated themselves in further and it was put on with no wheel or weight on the front when first tightened.

Ordered a pile of shims to refill the box so we're ready for a valve adjustment. It seems 2.55, 2.60 and 2.65 are the most common sizes we have to put in bikes and we were getting low. Also replenishing the stock pile of stainless screws, rubber bumpers and other little bits you always should have around.

The motor is loosening up and running smother the more it gets run. Tried to contact the original owner for some history but no response yet. The clutch engages really good so I think that is new. Really good downhill engine braking so again it seems the rings and valves are all new or nearly new. Saturday a valve adjustment and oil change.

Not a single drip of oil anywhere.

Some white smoke in the morning but that is water vapor. The cool nights here cause lots of condensation on everything so I'm sure the inside of the exhaust and air box are damp. I tested it with my hand and it is just steam.

Tomorrow the rims go to Aurora Suzuki. I'll pick them up Friday for Saturday's transition. New rotors, new bearings and 90* gold valve stems. (FYI: Get 90* valve stems next time you do wheels. Just a pain to get the tire pump in there between the stem and the hub - especially on rear wheels.)

We're getting close! 

Glad for anyone that wants to help or just hang out to come over Saturday (and Sunday if we run late on Saturday and don't finish.) Then we take him for a ride around the city and maybe even to the UW campus!

one day if I am able I will visit. since my job is all but done. they were tossing some precision tools. feeler gauges, needle files etc. gathering those together, will send em your way. maybe you can put them to use Eh?

Absolutely - I'm sure some of the guys would love having some of their own tools. If they are extras, they will be shared.

Just tightened up the steering on HUHSKY. Rides solid like a new bike now.Turned on heat in the cave and after some Sponge Bob or Family Guy I'll install a real bad ass horn and adjust the left control position.

The more I ride him, the better the motor runs. That makes me extremely happy!

excellent  

Dropped wheels off at Aurora Suzuki.
New brake rotors were in. Mechanic took a look at the front rotor and said he would not put it on a show bike because it had a couple dings on the black part so they're going to get another one.
Aurora Suzuki will insure the new rotor is perfect. Gotta love a dealer that looks out for you and goes the extra mile without even asking.
So this weekend we'll put on all the plastics & tank. Wheels will be another week. Easy to swap wheels later.

FYI: When replacing tires, put on 90* valve stems so it is easier to put air in. Also, mechanic says never get them in rubber. Always get metal due to the side pressure on them when you add air.

Added horn last night, temporary front fender (its raining here, go figure!) and adjusted left hand controls (rotated back a little).
Bike running fine.

Coolness

Excellent job guys, love it.

Extreme thanks goes to all the West Seattle who helped and taught me things during the past few years so I could do this project.....
Matt, Zak, Brian, Olly, Jacob (I hope I didn't forget anyone) oh, Austin, Alan, James, Dave, Scottie..... anyone I forgot? Sorry if I did.

.....and the everyone on GStwins who have offered advice (I was a total noob 4 years ago) and donated parts to the West Seattle Bike Cave.

I couldn't have done it without all the help.
