    Nice write up~! I dont wana make a reference to me having small hands cause I know someone idiot is gona make a wiener joke, but I was able to stick them between body work and vents and get oil filters off compared to other wrenches that had to dis-assemble body work to gain access to the same bike.

    You trusted her with a valve lash inspection? oh wait, thats just using a feeler gauge, thats cool, trying to explain the resistance of drag with the old encyclopedia book and paper is no comparison to actually doing the valve service. Good For you!!! Now you gota get her to work on the dash board of your civic, small hands and a dremel may come in handy :tongue:

    It DOES look awesome. Make me want to fix the rash on my '98 that it suffered a couple of years ago.

    Now I'm sitting with the door in my living room cutting it apart while watching TV with a cocktail.

    It lives.

    Still have the wiring harness to conquer but wanted to make sure it was back to the point of running before plugging in a different harness. This way, when I attach a custom built harness and it fails to run, I know where to start looking.

    Man, one thing that I really like about this type of thing is that you really get to have a CLEAN bike when you are done. I am finishing up my valve check and adjustment and I see how dirty my girl is under her clothes. She's a dirty, dirty girl...
