Tech Session (changed to) Saturday 11/14/09, Montgomery, TX
« on: October 21, 2009, 11:17:48 AM »
Anyone interested? I am going to check/adjust my valves, replace fork oil and install progressive fork springs.

Will probably smoke a brisket :lunch: and have a cold one :c too!

OK, here's your chance to see The Lady's new dress. I'm picking up my tins on this weekend and putting her clothes on at Grapeape's place. Pray for cloud-free day so she can really shine at her best.

Of Course it's dirty. It's hard to clean when the tires keep moving.

Looking forward to seeing it with the new skin.

Should be ready to do a oil change and maybe install new brakes and speed bleeders.  ;)

You mean the hose? The speed bleeders stay attached to the bike. They replace the stock bleeder screws. If you buy them, don't buy the plastic bag. I learned that you can just run the hose into a water bottle or other container

Address is 222 Ridgeside, Montgomery, TX, 77316 and it maps correctly on Google. I am installing progressive fork springs and checking valves on my 1800R and should have all the neccessary tools to do so on hand. I also have a lift.

I have a covered double carport where we can work. Hopefully we will have good weather. Also, if anyone is wanting to do valves, they can drop off bikes Friday afternoon/evening so the motor is stone cold.

I need a head count for BBQ brisket sandwiches, cole slaw and maybe some peach cobbler. BYOB if you care too.

Let me know if there is something I can bring!  Plan on putting on and trying out the new Progressive Rear Shocks that Connie has for me and doing the front springs, maybe bleed the brakes if time allows!!   :thumbup:

I can bring up the stand and lift, tools Thursday evening...if that is ok?  I can't on Friday, Lucky and I have a date!  :thumbup:

Carol, I bought the speed bleeders for my bike so that changing the brake fluid is a cinch (from what a purple baboon has told me, lol).
