Fell off it.

Please don't do that any more. I assume it was low speed.

0 mph.

Put the dirt bike in the trailer. Will drive to the track and unload it and ride it.

Rebuilt the front master cylinder so it would have full travel again.  The lever was loose and rattling, causing the brake lights to flicker constantly.

You can't avoid aging, but you don't have to get old.

Today, the Dyna got stored for the winter. 


I swung by the parts counter and ordered new pistons, the conversion kit for installing hydraulic cam chain tensioners, new SE 203 cams and lifters, a bigger 44mm carb and SE intake and all the associated gaskets to tear the entire motor down and convert it to a 103 CI stump puller.  I have the new crankshaft sitting on my bench already.  ;D


Yeah, baby.  Let the fun begin!  The tear down starts the Monday after Thanksgiving.


 There will be pictures and text.
