- April 01, 2018, 19:58:27 PM Well last night I took the rear shock off, well tried, but the lower bolt would not budge and ended up taking the whole swing arm off. You want to talk about dirty and full of grease and chain lube and gunk. So about 2100 I took the whole part and off to the car wash and pressure washing, so got it clean till I got it home......there was some really caked on goop.
So got it cleaned and now top repair the missing zerk (grease nipple) fitting......that container had clean kerosene in it at the start and once it was used to clean the what I thought was clean tie rod it was not so clean. So just to clean the old grease out and repair the damaged hole and install a new zerk fitting, replace the grease with a good marine grade grease and then we can reinstall the swing arm......

- March 18, 2018, 18:36:59 PMWell the valve check was completed today on both bikes and happy to report that both bikes have fallen will within the specs.
Red has now 66,394 km or 41,256 miles on the clock
Pearl, now due to the transformation will be called Raven has a mere 18, 193 km or 11,304 miles on the clock.
So now to button up Red and she is ready for the road, and now to start on the actual build on Raven, and the new rear shock is here and so we are good to go......
