weekend update

got my mitts on a set of real stone handlebars (thanks Doug it was worth the drive to see you) to complete my Red 175DT, too bad they are from a Hurricane.
finished up the honey do list
cub scouts is done for the summer
Still need to finish the face frame on the built in Book Cases
and caps on the column
Time to hit the wrenches
Probably does not help that I have Bronchitis right now

something

smells

fishy

Engine cleaned to my high Umm Standards

Okay the weather has been better,
test fitted the engine and transmission clusters
took away the 4-5 speed selector, making the bike a 5 speed
and ran the cases in the dish washer to remove the last bit of Soda Media and this is the result
I rubbed everything down with neva-dull (good Boston accent on that one)
Need to make a small part order list and should have it together next week
btw the cases look great but I have removed a lot of the paint on the outer cover and that is why it looks blotchy under the Never-dull
picked up a tube of Hylomar for the rebuild
www.hylomar-usa.com/
and need to send off a tank to be cleaned up

Selector drum set up question

I do not plan on using the 4 speed option and was looking to replace the sport shift shaft (part # 2571-8001) with a bolt
Just to confirm two things;
1- flat side of the washer (part# 2548-8000) faces the gear cluster, my sping holder has a flat side tried to show it in the second photo
2- the flat on the sport shift shaft engaged is for 4 speed option and if i were to use a bolt I would have a locked in 5 speed as shown in the photos I should be in 5 speed mode???
if all works well I will pick up a set of cotter pins 0551-2525 for the shift fork to retain the fork guide and a bolt to replace the sport shift shaft
pine wood derby is this weekend got to finish the wheels!

wasting the days with freddy fraterinty

today was the first "warm day to be in the man cave last week was taken up with my "40th" Bday

more bridgestone photos found

found more photos on the old www
I see a radial head??

someone did well on a stone

burrrr cold

It has been a bit cold here in the north east
today was the first time I saw temps above freezing since early January
so hopefully that explains the stand still on the engine rebuild
as the picture show I have a nice rebuilt crank, NOS jugs and pistons and one NOS head (the other head has been worked over in the soda cabinet)
Still need a set of rings, they only made one size correct???
Time to get a new helmet and I will be getting an HJC to replace my flip front that has served me well and I need a Snell 2005 for the school
