New sprockets and chain. Installing them will take minutes. Cleaning all the grunge in the hub and dampener areas - hours.

Was adjusting my air screws while the bike was running. Noticed the carbs were leaking. Sigh... I hate taking the carbs off.

Yes, making motorcycle parts as usual. No complaints. :)

I was at work yesterday but got NOTHING done, sometimes biding out jobs and writing contracts gets sooooo boring and tedious I end up spending my day working on questions that dont need to be answered :roll:
I should be a bit more diligent at work, that was the second friday in a row …last friday I didn't even go in.
This is starting to look like a habit :D

Today however I am going to be diligent, got a old suzuki tank with the caswell peeling off and causing problems , going to work on getting that out, and a bit later try out some new jetting on the H2.

Doing heli coils in two oil pumps, one "missing tab" hold down and a CV driveshaft conversion for a Cub Cadet diesel lawn and garden tractor.

Doing the front fork emulator mod on the H2.
Instructions say to "remove original dampening disc".
Anyone do this? What parts are to be left out?
On the resource site; John's picture 1 of the assembled parts has the small spring and notched disc, his picture 2 doesn't show these.
