Husqvarna 125 x triumph 900







The temps hit the low 50s which is the right temp to melt the ice in the motivation center of my mind. The triumph has been needing a new front tire since the end of last season and the front brakes have been giving me fits for as long as I've owned it. Previously it had been fitted with a pair of 6 piston tokico calipers, luckily the bike still had the the original 4 piston jobs in a plastic bag. 

Bri guy got some more progress in on his husky too, the cases are split and the crank is ready to be pressed apart for rebuild. Thankfully the transmission was spared the rusting treatment the crankcase fell victim to. 

 

Trek trekking




This place is mostly moto related but I recently picked up my first pedal bike in probably 20 years. It feels great exploring the trails around the house and can't wait to get some more seat time in.

Harley shortster shifter mods


Filing the half moon slot allows for more throw to get the pawl positively engaged

The shift arms wont open far enough if this pin is badly worn. I spun mine to get to fresh material. Next time ill need to machine a new pin if it wears that far again. 


 Adding weld to the ends of the shift arms is what finally got this thing to actually engage the shift drum and spin it far enough to stay in the desires gear.
