There is video. The most exciting one is the one where I stall the bike out on the first try. ;) hahaha

Then the rest of the videos are RIDING!

(I updated my build thread finally, too.)

LOL I too stalled the bike, As I was pulling out of the garage...the first time.

I guess I shoulda added a caption to my vid. "This video has been edited for Stalling on take off, cussing then laughing!"

Good news, talking w a buddy this morning. An Old and I mean OLD, Honda enthusiast. Told me he has a couple parts ordered for his blasting cabinet. He will call me (next week) and I should have unlimited access to his glass bead blasting cabinet + his larger outdoor Black Beauty setup...for the frame. ;D

You really do meet the nicest people on Hondas!

Time to tear this thing down.

Truth. Working with my garage door open has attracted several stoppers-by- all older guys that have been into bikes since they were kids. Turns out in my little neighborhood, I have 8 guys that have these things, mostly 80's or older and mostly rice burners. It's really cool. Who'd-a-thought this is how I would meet the neighbors?
 
Re: Rachels, 72 CL100, FIRST RIDE, WOOHOO

I met ALL my neighbors when I had the glass packs installed...we are not speaking. ;D
 
Re: Rachels, 72 CL100, FIRST RIDE, WOOHOO

I see a lot of people peeking in at me working, but no body has stopped yet. Except the mailman who just gave me a sad grin and a hello as I kept trying to kick it over.

I'm pretty sure anyone driving by that witnessed me trying to kick mine over yesterday got a good laugh.

I live at the end of a cul-de-sac, and everyone knows I own a few bikes.

There's only 1 or 2 other peeps who own Harleys and that's it.

These peeps around here just keep to themselves.
 
Re: Rachels, 72 CL100, FIRST RIDE, WOOHOO

Re: Rachels, 72 CL100, Clean up

Ha! Thats a waste of good evapo-rust! Thats my favorite tool ever. 3 pounder, Bought that when I first got into the elevator union $$. I was doing construction and used it ALOT! I actually bent it! Been a good old hammer.

After spending an hour messing around. I made a tool (punch). Ive had an old extra-long allen wrench in the back of the toolbox. I Cut off the end, ground other w a little flange on 2 sides (incase one broke). I was then able to catch it between tube and bearing race. Dang thing actually worked great! 8) Popped them right out, easy peasy. W the 1 pound hammer.

No, I tried, but figured I didn't need to, but I don't know what keeps them together, once reassembled.

Someone whose more knowledgeable than I am, hopefully will chime in.
