Hey 73, some progress... but not a ton. I've had to work through the weekend.
I already yanked the carbs. They were stuck on the boots like crazy until I sprayed some wd-40 on the boots, and then they popped off with no problem. Now the real bitch was getting the throttle cables off. Not ever doing this before I didnt know what the hell I was doing. The shorter throttle cable came off kinda easy, but the longer one that wraps around the wheel was a bitch. It took me awhile to realize I was feeding the slack left... when I should be feeding it right. Doh.... I'm learning. Then I spilled gas all over myself.
While I had a couple minutes I took both mirrors off, and am going to bend them out a bit. They aren't set wide enough to see around my larger frame, so I have to move to see behind me. Then I took off my clutch lever which is bent a tad from when the bike fell up against my shed wall. I'm going to heat it up and bend it back. Then I was in the process of replacing my bent shift linkage when I noticed our house's water heater had leaked a lake all over the basement floor.
Great...
Tomorrow after work I'm taking the wheels off, because my fresh BT-45s just came in. While the bike is ooc I might as well take the wheels into the Pony and have them put on.
