Came out from a trip to Wally World and found this beast of a mini parked next to me ... I tagged him with a mud card :)

I know I got a few inquiries for these lights and wiper contact covers... kinda on back burner for a short time... Too much work work :meh:

Lol

Wish that was my new top... that's an older pic with my old canvas and matching canvas doors ... I still need to redue my doors with the new batten and new canvas to match my new top

I need two of me ... one to play with the cruiser (cruiser johnny) ... and one to hang out with my family (family johnny) ... as it stands the one the hangs with the family is taking all the time away from cruiser johnny lol

Are we getting closer to cloning?

Gotcha.

You know how it is here on MUD. You see someone post a new part they just got, you don't know what the part is exactly, but you have to make sure it isn't a part you need and didn't know you needed. :hillbilly:

Rear brakes would have not passed inspection... so needed to replace them... I had these rotors for years and never cut out the centers

A buddy at work has a lathe that said he would cut them ( 4.175 )

I believe he cut them just a tad under that lol they didn't fit ... ran them quickly into work and sanded off a very little using the orbital drum sander... and then they fit perfectly

New pads and all is good :)

Are you sure you don't mean three of you, a third to work so you can afford play with cruisers? Though once I retired I wouldn't need the third one. But now I need one to do all the projects around the house to free up time.:(
 
Had some down time... took apart my spare alternator ... replaced the brushes and gave it a quick cleanup ... everything else seems good

I think this alternator had 100k on it ... need to take it down and have it tested

In the meantime went to drop off more leaves ... hate leaves :meh:
