What have you done to your square lately??

[bucket]

Got to work on the valve seals. Then I discovered that for whatever reason (probably because they decided to stick with just o-rings on the exhaust valves) they didn’t machine down all of the valve seats for press-on seals. I could measure, but it wouldn’t make a difference. Some slid on, now I’m running into some that are damn near the same diameter of the seals themselves. No rhyme or reason.

Then I discovered I couldn’t find the Pioneer umbrella seals I have somewhere- probably ferreted away in the shop. I took it as a sign to walk away for the day.

I did get a chance to try this tool that worked awesome for getting spark plugs under tight headers. No more futzing around with an open end wrench with #5 and 6. Just gotta be gentle since there’s no rubber grommet to protect the porcelain.

Between these few tools, no header will ever be in your way. Or steering shaft or whatever.

Enjoyed the foliage during a ride down a two lane road out to Powhatan today. Dropped Kelley's Motovox bike with his cousin for a tune up.

Cleaned up all the new welds, then used a 2K seam sealer and finished redoing all the old, including (and especially) inside the cowl, then primered the bottom and another coat of primer on everything. Officially done til Spring.
