Projects At Home During Lockdown

What is this fascination with Nuns genital moistness? Nuns are women too with normal parts. They probably sneak a quick mazdy like everyone else.
It's just they are doing it over Jesus.

i often wonder that but i keep getting drawn back to my old VHS 'Sista Fista',

I look forward to the rapture too!

Been getting the old GS1100GK out of retirement, its cleaning up quite well and in pretty good nick mechanically not so great cosmetically. Anyway while working on it I decided the underside of the engine and frame could do with a clean up. Against my better judgement I removed the engine. That was bad enough, getting it back in after the clean and paint touchup was a real mission. She's a big girl.
The service manual is a bit light on specifics - undo the bolts, remove the engine from the right side. Replacement is the reverse.Yeah sure.

Incidentally, are all the GS motors rubber mounted?

No - it's a shaftie thing. Then the GSXR adopted rubber inserts to stop the frame "ringing"

I once struck a customer who didn't want the engine removed on his 1100G. It'd done a huge mileage without coming out so it had to stay in...
And it'd broken the end off the output gearset shaft. Shaft is I think 20mm but reduces on the end to take a 14mm nut holding the U joint on.
After I'd done some trimming of the forging at that corner of the frame with a die grinder it could be withdrawn - just.
I finished up boring and tapping the exposed soft end of the shaft to take a 14mm capscrew to retain the U joint.
Complicated - but probably easier than taking the mother out...

Now there's another one local to me who wants the cams dialled. It's worth doing. Livens them up quite a bit.

Interesting - where would I find more information on that?

I figured out why som many people use those airhead BMW's as photo props. Hot model, moody look, BMW Airhead, tick tick tick, click click click.

They look cool (especially modified) and they don't move fast enough to fuck up the photos.

I'm not complaining. Except about the lack of safety equipment obvs.

I love Instagram.

They are basic no frills so they will not overshadow the model, unless its on Trademe with a angry looking blonde who looks like she has sucked a sack full of lemons.

You talk to an old bastard who's been doing it since the 80's. The forums are now short on people who know. Long on ones who think they know.

All the 2v GS's I do now are set at 107 LC inlet, 109 LC exhaust. Std can be around 110/112 and is not consistent.
Even the 1000S which runs 103/110 or so, goes better on 107/109.
i've tried a lot of different settings over the years. this is what works.

Well, like every other trendsetting hipster I've just bought a tidy Honda CT90 trail to tidy up further.
I prefer the 90 with the old style indicators, points ignition & non painted alloy hubs, over the 110.
The 110 is a bit like what the Austin Allegro was to the Austin 1300, not any better, just more plastic & uglier.
It's even got the accessory fuel tank, & comes with a new old stock exhaust system.

Got any slotted cam wheels for sale?

Nah. 90% of GS sprockets are soft and a chainsaw file will do. The remaining 10% I use a carbide tip in a die grinder.
If you've got the bonded rubber on your sprockets, clean it off - but you'll have to re-mark the original timing marks.
Remember, unless you have odd cams in it, to get my figures, you'll be advancing the inlet cam against the sprocket - and retarding the exhaust.

To get a clean shot at the buckets with a DTI, cut the redundant short bits of cam off outside the end lobes. Do this on the left hand end.
Your degree wheel will go on the alternator end of the crank - and you'll turn it from the right hand, ignition end.

Replaced our waste disposal unit yesterday. Old one failed two weeks ago. Would have been easier to do if I had three arms and hands. Fortunately I was able to borrow one of Mrs Oakie's.
Next project is to make a pelmet for our grandaughter's bedroom.

[sidecar bob]

Not really a project at home, but im re wiring this thing.
The loom looked like it had been made as a special school, class project & it all came to a head when the owner put the battery on charge & the braided brake hoses glowed red & it spat the fluid out.
