Slipper clutches Who where when.??

[FROSTY:Me]

Well, the biggest change apart from f**king up the paint job is that the reg is on hold for six months or so while I figure out how to pull the thing to bits without it falling on me.

I've got a nice new set of forks waiting to go on, everything else looks shitty but is fine mechanically. I keep faffing between 1. Do I strip it down, clean it up and have it too nice to drop ? or 2. Do I do a half arse job and have a half arse bike that I always know is half arsed ?

Final result is that I just stand around drinking beer looking at it thinking about how much work it needs, how I don't think my rafters can take the weight of the bike (they really can't, it's a crappy old garage) and if I can balance it on the sump while I take out the swingarm and forks (who the hell knows ???).

Ah... I'll get there one day, may need to buy one of those engine extractor stands so I can chain it up in the air.

Yeah man... Beer would be cool, I got some here ... What time do you finish up at work these days ? You could come over and laugh at me circling the bike with my finger up my arse (everybody needs a hobby eh ?) I swear I'm weaing a frecking trough in the concrete.

Sedge.

yep this is frosty advertising BUT--mate what ya need is a set of my pit stands.One for the front fits into the steering head and lets ya remove the entire front end.The other fits onto ya swingarm making engine/wheel removal a doddle. Its shit loads easier than hanging the bike off the gargre roof

I need to get the swing arm right out to paint it without the bike falling over, I'm aiming to paint around the rest of the frame once it's out (saves me dropping the engine )

I just can't quite figure out how to stop the thing falling over while I do it, I don't think a pit stand will work, might have to make a cradle for the sump and jack it up somehow.

I will need a pit stand or two once I've got the thing happening, chain lubing without a centre stand is a bit precarous.

Time for some more beer and circling I think

Sedge.

I have a custom stand to lube the chain, cost about 0.1c and is about a foot and a half long, just lean the bike towards the stand and then jam the piece of wood under the right foot peg, works well just wouldn't leave it like that for too long
will post pic tonight.
