Rim lock. I havent had one on in, well, forever.

You may want to ask about oil next.

Oil? In the rim?

 

[jbruney]

Oil for motor… Rim lock is for preventing tire spin on rim when you honk it ferociously.

A little attempt at humor, oil threads being a bit contentious and all.

I know, but was compelled to play with my best poker face... I wish he could ride that thing now and not have to wait what must seem like forever because when he once gets on it I fear it may be the grounds for a divorce. Or he may perish from an overstimulated pleasure center in his brain.

We talking primary, motor or gearbox? ATF? ZDDP? How bout an oil seal for your clutch rod?

I prefer regular slip-on loafers for riding comfort.

Reclining seats here & vibrating heated grips.... Well heated anyway.

I always leave those out. Replace with a taper head bolt to keep water out.

......and find a brake caliper that does not need work ($$$$) (imho)

Edit.
I saw your post on Britbike.com... Buy a good one that does not need added work (EDM) I have bought off that seller though and he was great.

Finally got the cabinet working today. Just about ready to paint.

I can’t believe how much dust this cabinet leaks out. I’m going to have to caulk most of this cabinet and I absolutely need better lighting.

If you are not already, you MUST wear a quality face mask to avoid any congestion of the media dust. (silicosis etc, glass bead is little different)

Thanks, I do wear a mask, but I’m going to try and seal it up better than it is. I had dust all through the house.

It do have a way of permeating into everything for miles around.

Typically, they have a place to connect a shop vac to keep the box generally clear, but that stuff will eat the vacuum cleaner up after a few uses...

 

[Norcoastal]

I think from now on when I need to blast something, I’ll put the cabinet in the driveway and close the garage door. My shop was a mess. I like a clean shop and mine was filthy.

All clean now...

 

[Norcoastal]

Ok...NOW I’m ready for paint...

 

[grandpaul]

I recall that tranny cradle frame having MUCH tougher coating than the swingarm, looks like a common thing...

Interesting, yes, that is really tough

Thanks for the great pics. Moving along smartly. I left the rim locks out as well but mostly because I forgot about them.
