What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (106 Viewers)

[lockedLC]

Replaced front knock sensor and rewired clip into harness, rewired rear knock sensor into hareness, welded off both PAIR valve ports on exhaust manifolds and painted with high temp paint. Finished install on new DC Fabrications front bumper. Now just waiting on new winch to show up.

I likey. Can't tell from the picture's but is it a damage multiplier?

Pretty much finished up my swing out swing down rear stinger... Few odds and ends to finish.

It's only 19" away from the bumper and that's 4'5" up off the ground...

No, its solid one piece similar to ARB only better design and stronger snatch points.

I'm at 6 degrees and I like it.

Apropos of nothing...

sweet bike SurfPig! Off topic but my buddy just picked up a mint CT110 with 50 miles on it. I *think* he's going to ride it through south america. Nuts. His has the spare tank and he's adding an XR tank as well. Will PM you when he sends me the link for his adventure - he's a chef and does TV shows, should either be on TV or online.

ok, sorry all for diversion, back to timing..

Buddies radiator, tcase Rear bearing, seal and speedo o-ring. Shout out to @alvarorb for saving the day with the seal after my [former] go to parts guy left me hanging with a bearing and no seal. Gotta admit, after spending a few grand I expected more than "I'm only human" from him

Notice my fancy bailing wire plate removal sst. (The guy that said he did it with "one finger and a piece of bent wire" is full of $&@T! Thought myself a genius when I figured the three bolts that hold the little pointless flimsy metal shield onto the rearmost surface of the tcase have the same thread as the plate that resides under the vc. Then wrapped the bailing wire around those three bolts and yanked it right out!

Then went straight out and enjoyed the rigs!

My buddy's tcase at work for a poser

Oil change and camping with my son's Boy Scout Troop. Great weather and a lot of fun. While on this 300mi trip, my 3FE rolled 280,000 miles!

Umm, I'm sorry, what is this stuff you refer to as "water"? I don't recognize it.

A requirement around here once temps hit 95° Water temp of 60° are very refreshing

I changed every power steering line. It was a long job, but my arms are skinny enough that I didn't have to take anything extra off to get to it all. Although I should have taken the fan shroud off because my arms are pretty scraped up.

What trail did you guys hit?

Well, if you took the fan shroud off it would have a taken a long job and made it a messier, wetter and longer job. You cant take out the shroud without removing the top hose.

Went to Disney (Oklahoma) and played in the Mud and on the rocks! She stayed dry and worked like a champ even through the mud.

Looks like I might have blown a rear diff seal though so all things considered it was a great weekend.

Damn, glad to know! I did notice some coolant leaks, very minor. There's a 3/16ths hose on the top that needs replacing, and I guess I need a new rad cap, as it seems to be leaking. Radiator's pretty new so I really don't think it's leaking. Also a lot of dry rot on vacuum lines. That would explain my weird vibration at idle that only happens sometimes, maybe.

You can if you cut the shroud into and upper and lower... Then zip tie stitch them together for easy trail access to a variety of items...

oh blah. Ok sure, I guess that is one option
