[Burphel]

Did a run to Cycle Gear today (about 2hrs away). Picked up some number stickers, safety wire and SW pliers, 90* valve stems, delrin spool/swingarm sliders, and they had EBC HH pads for the Ninja in stock, so I got a set for the front. No rivet master links, and the Pit Bull stand they were selling was overpriced and didn't come with a lift pin or the clevis pin to keep it in place. Grr. So, I'm thinking I'll try doing the fork job lifting the front from the garage beam and just order the damn thing straight from Pit Bull. I also stopped by Home Depot and picked up a couple drill bits. Got to thinking I could try drilling my own stuff now, although it'd be easier with a proper vise. Did a random bolt from the Bin of Suck freehand with it held in a pair of pliers and it didn't turn out bad at all. I'd really like to use some of the fancy aluminum/titanium bits from Pro Bolt, but they ain't cheap. I also installed the spools/swingarm sliders. Primarily a shopping day, though.
