Dec 10th inaugural two up ride for Mexican food

It lives

The bike starts and runs really well.  So the 15 day project is over and the BMW sounds great.  It is still on the lift but has a license plate and is ready to take a spin tomorrow!

Dec 4th...tank is on and hooked up

Big day here, last bit of bike going back together.   The tank is polished, attached and fuel petcocks installed.

I
















And the seat is reinstalled.

Saturday-front end done and more

By the end of yesterday, the front end was completely done, brakes done and tire on.  Saturday saw an adjustment to one of the brake calipers so the disk brake pucks closed properly.   Then the saddlebags were cleaned up and installed!   Of course the attaching locks hadn’t been opened/closed in years so that took a bit of lubricant and finesse.   All is well now.

Post Thanksgiving...Home stretch on the front end

Burning off turkey calories...brake caliper installation.  Note the wheel is on!

Pre- Thanksgiving Turkey work

Before Turkey, work continued on the installation of the new front tire, brake rotors and brake calipers.

Nov 27, fork oil and some brake work

The tsunami of parts continues.   Final brake rotor arrived midday today.   Stu cleaned and refilled the forks this morning.  Also straightened out some front end alignment issues by lessening fork brace bolts and assorted other pieces, then retightening correctly.   Axle now fits smoothly as it slides from one side into the other.   Front brake system has been flushed and will be refilled with new brake fluid.  All parts look good.   Wheel is removed waiting for new tire and brake rotors.

Vacula brake bleeding apparatus:

Front forks....all clean

Miscellaneous brake pieces, all cleaned up
