Things are kinda slow on the Honda front lately. The only progress I've made lately is to go to Sears and get a 1/4" drive universal 10mm socket. ($10!!! What a rip!) It's a 10mm socket/
universal joint combination, and it's small enough to fit down in the cam galley and get to the cam sprocket bolts. I went directly from Sears to Gjarner's and tried it out. The top bolt came out fine, and after some major grinding on the poor ol' socket, the bottom one broke loose too. I started to take the side pods off that house the points and tach drive, but after struggling with the frozen phillips screws, I didn't feel like continuing, so I cleaned up and left. I should have put some penetrant on 'em, but I forgot.
I've been thinking about the chopper/bobber thing lately - I still want to do it, but I don't think I have the heart (or I have too much heart) to chop up my 500. (I need to get another seat, though. I hate that King&Queen jobby.) I put a lot of time, effort and love into it just to cut it up. I'd rather dig a rough one out of the weeds and resurrect it as a bobber. I'll stay on the lookout.
Other than that, nothing much new has been going on. My brother is coming to visit this weeked, so that should be a blast. I'm sure we'll get drunk and reminisce.
