Brooklyn Brewery, Utica, NY - Dry Irish Stout 4.7% Right. So, not "Irish Dry Stout?" Elsewise, stout for the dry Irish . . . For which, the claim made, right on the bottle: Brooklyn Dry Irish Stout is a very dark beer, but don't let the color fool you.In Ireland, stouts were originally brewed to be "session beers" that were light enough to stick with for a long evening . . . " Oh, really? Is that so? I'm thinking it's more Yank bollocks. A dark, but watery thin, sharp tasting, fizzy disappointment that won't hold its head. I was hoping for a more fulfilling "session!"

Delicious! Something lingerie-like how the black and red play off one another.

If you clear coat the body work, but not the valve covers- they will be the same 'color' but with a different lustre . .

"Swing arm Restoration?"

Got me bang to rights there dangerous! Would never have had it down as pre-war though...As I said. Loads of ingenuity on show. Gear drive cam train? I could only find that the Cozette supercharger was gear driven. Looking at the side cover, I would think the cams, too, but have found no pictures of the motor open to see.

Coppa Café . . . . - I like it! Great color. Reminds me of the "black" on the early 1100Sport-i which is really more bronze with a complex metal flake - also almost impossible to photograph.

I notice, also, from the Leek u. Zeyen book: of the 255 pages, the first 48 are a nicely written history, and for the "Motorcycles" the V-twin fills all pages 107-255 making it almost 3/4 about the V-twins.

More to your question, D'ben: I rode the Indian and the motor was "interesting" but I kept hitting the rev limiter. Sitting position is Barc-a-lounger. It was happiest lumping through the parking lot in 6th (!) gear at idle. The Ural are too cool. I thought recalling callison had (has?) one. They couldn't possibly be harder to maintain (or draw wiring diagrams for!) than a Guzzi . . . right? . . .

Looks like you did a wee bit more than just "service" it!

Or at least 'til next January, yeah?

Today, motowfo brought by a bit of his nefarious Scorpion Pepper Stout. A full bodied, complex, dark and rich stout with a finish that never finished . . .

I'm pretty prejudiced against ratchets myself; far preferring a proper breaker bar or offset box-end.

Agreed. After taking my bevel box apart, then again, then again, I would only make the oil change and not overfill. Any dirt or moisture getting past the needle bearing will not affect the seals or bevel box internals, only the axle pushing through the "spacer." Simply grease the axle well as it pushes through. However, servicing the "cush drive" on your wheel might be good now!

AFAIK, only the finish was changed for different models.

This is gonna be fun!

GPR? I'm not familiar with this one. Have a link?

No, really, this is the time!

What? No microscopic close-up the the tensioner?

Here, I thought working on our own motorcycles could rate somewhere on the same page as Bomb Squad. Some of these things, you do not want to screw up!

Or is that Önions?

I would go with something more subdued like black or antracite and let onlooker's attention be focused on more interesting parts of the bike. You have a replacement hugger already?

Hmm! Who told you about that one?An old timer with no teeth and a spittoon, I'll wager... and a shed full of pristine restos! Small world! You know motowfo, too!

There are lots of (expensive) penetrating fluids out there, but check out a 50/50 mixture of ATF and acetone. (not for use as a fork oil!)

I've linked back to this discussion on the Tank Off Maintenance Checklist. Thanks, Gentlemen!

waspp, what do you mean "high gear clamps?"
