There are some icy roads here in the foothills of the Sierra Mountains since the last storm front moved through.  Snow is just a few short miles from my house and the ground is crunchy when you walk on it.  Seems like winter to me.  Stay warm and well friends.

:angel: 'TO DO' over the up and coming winter.......A new set of Avon tires will be a priority... 8)

New shoes acquired for "The Mistress'...I picked up a brand new set of Avons today... 8).

I already have new swing arm bearings, shims and a bushing on the shelf. The rear swing arm/drive unit is sandblasted, (along with a centre stand and brake bar), the welds have all been blended in and the units has been painted gloss black... 8)

A new digital guage package has also been purchased... 8)

New oils for the engine and rear drive, along with a new engine oil filter, in-line gas filter, two new spark plugs/wires/caps and fresh coolant have all been purchased...... 8)

Now I just have to find the time to get her all done before the spring :o ::)...Hey, its a start ;D :D :D :D ;D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D... ;)

Yes it is,

I disassembled the braking system and now have new seals on the bench. I just need to find a way to get those darn pistons out without an air compressor or a grease gun on hand, its a bit of a hassle. Also have new wheel bearing and tapered head bearings ready to go on. Offroad riding and ignorantly torquing down the nuts ruined the set of headbearings i have installed in 10000 kms

I also have to get on with a Valve check, but just NO TIME

Summer approaches quickly

dang H20, with that kind of depth you might want to invest in a 2 stage blower.  La Nina will probably hit you more than me down here in Morrison.
