    If you ever woke up during the night and walked across the room and stepped on one of those leggos, you would know pain. Far as the slurry I make, I do it once twice a year if that. Had good results with it, I am used to wearing hazmat suits and full respirators, we have sanding rooms with large tables with heppa filters underneath, pro level stuff, I still wear a mask though. Thanks for your concern

    I got the rear wheel balanced. Just needed an inch and a half socket with two layers of masking tape. That was just snug enough. Surprised me that it needed 1.25 oz to balance. In hindsight would like to have checked the wheel for balance without the tire oh well.

    I painted the rear subframe, sorry no pics yet. Spent some time rebuilding the clutch master, installed a new SS braided clutch line and bled that system. Then I reinstalled the the front brakes that I rebuilt a few weeks ago, filled and bled those.
    Milestone- it's finally time to start putting parts back ON the bike!
    New grips are always nice :) Installed the front subframe that I painted last weekend.

    Grrrrr!!!!!
    Stuck. Soaked for days with penetrating lube, many whacks with a large persuasion device, and now failed with a HF puller.

    Now torch heat, under pressure, while also persuading it.

    Might to replace some seals or any bearings that have a rubber seal.

    I've never had one off. Is this normal?

    I've only had 4 (5?) apart. 2 Hawks, at least 2 VFRs. No issues.
