Not at all! That emoji means we've all pulled up chairs and our favorite refreshments to watch closely (and be armchair wrenchers!).tory wrote:Did I say something controversial? I try to avoid subjects like tires and oil.desertrefugee wrote:

Re: 1978 With sidecar
Yes, please keep us posted on your project. For me, now that I have more room to work after having moved, I regret selling my sidecar rig. It had potential. I am sure the dentist from Southern California who took it home and is happy…

Re: 1978 With sidecar
Still going slow, but going. Found a couple saturdays to get back in the garage. Ofcourse I had a little help. Truth be told it may have slowed the pace, but well worth the cost.
However an unfortunate incident with the garden hose....
Rear back together with replaced gas tank, rebuilt master and caliper as well as a new tire. Also an eBay Jardine exhuast. Not quit perfect but good for a rider.
Moved to the front. Removed forks, radiator, Tstat and timing belt covers.

Timing belts, Thermostat, radiator hoses and cap all replaced. Polished up the valve covers and belt covers to match carburetor intake and caps.
