Be like tom cruise in cocktail, stuff getting thrown around

Pete, go long!!
Just finished a full twin system on a mack truck. Turbo to y-piece dual 5" mufflers and 6" stacks. 6cyl dohc with massive turbo. At least they got the engine right ;-) can you toss a bourbon about 300kms? [emoji23]
Say no more.
Had a good chat to the Minister on the weekend, we agreed the best thing to do is hand it off to a pro builder as the frame mod list id getting pretty long. Just got to find a bloke I like and trust now. 
Also, used my local "hire a hoist" place to do the service on the ministers focarse too, due to me still being a creaky old bastard, and for the $60 it cost me was an absolute bargain I reckon. All I bought with me was the car and parts, everything else was supplied, so would def recommend

The only forienger I like is. Hot blooded, I wanna know what love is, cold as ice, feels like the first time Etc. The softest metal ever made.
Actually I’m back into guitar. Maybe someday I’ll get a banjo
Hows the boy going with the classical? Be very very careful not to snap the banjo string. Would require a delicate operation and embarrassing explanation:-o

The beard of a top quality tradesman. Years of experience glistening from the red bristles. Now there is a man you can trust:-)
Chicken coop construction coming along nicely.

Hopefully buy some Chooks tomorrow

my name at work is "greybeard" and i kinda like it :blush:

Picked up a rolling frame from a TTR600 Belgrade last night for a song. Came with a beefy 51mm cartridge fork style front end and fully adjustable Olins rear shock, so suspension for Ragnar is almost sorted :woot: Just gotta get the fork emulators sorted and the changeover can begin.

Morning babes

Sup for the weekend?

pulling Ragnar down to the frame at the front end (most of this is already done as i found a couple of spots of surface rust along the oil tank seams when I took the tank off) and pulling the front end off the new parts bike so I can make some drawings up of the new centre spindle Imma going to need to bring the 2 together, so I can get it trailered off next week to get the new tank fitted and a new seat base made.

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation.
