Well, I got another valve shim kit from AHL this time same thing 7.48mm diameter
so when it get's here in january I can finally get the valves done....
I simply did a google search on valve shim Kit's for motorcycles and had a dozen or more to choose from Hot cam was the most prevalent in the list but I opted for the AHL brand
sense Hotcam screwed me over with this last kit Grrrrrrr !
....
anyway.... this has been a long tear down, and it is still going on ! won't be done till the end of January I am sure ! LOL
But my carbs should be back in a few days, so I can get them on....
maybe I should refresh the brake fluid at this time eh ? I want to put in Dot 5 brake fluid so I don't have to keep replacing the brake fluid every other year.
the Triumph has Dot 5 in the rear and dot 3 in the front... haven't got around to doing the front on it yet ! LOL
that's my 2 older bikes but the newer ones have dot 3 in them but they have alot of time before I have to worry about them.
....
so it's more Hurry up and wait ! HAHAHAHA
can't win for the loosing some times !
