Getting Cold Out There

Since we’re basically out of materials, I can’t get my day going without heading to Togashi’s place first thing in the morning★
 

 
We were out of stock, so I placed an order… The Sportster will have to wait until tomorrow.
My biceps are sore from the incident where I couldn’t lower the BMW, plus swapping out the vise and circular saw
 

 
To fit the Pokidam rod that was brought in, we have to remove the studs. We use a handy stud puller to get them out.
 

 
The seat surface is sticking out… and it’s dirty… Can’t be helped.
 

 
Let’s chamfer it and then clean up the threads with an oil stone.
 

 
While we’re at it, I drilled a hole for the wire ring…
 

 
We’ll widen the steel fender and make it fit snug.
The fork is thin, so it gets in the way of operation quite a bit.
It’s pretty tight overall, so the fork is pulled inward when installed. Tighten it by stroking the fork and fastening at the very end. But honestly, there aren’t many steel fenders out there anyway.
The rust is terrible, but I’m just going to pretend I didn’t see it.
 

 
I thoughtfully made a wheel spacer for the 750 for Shoppechan.
“Wow—100g down to 40g!” “That’s 60g of weight loss!”

Looks like this axle doesn’t need a spacer…
What am I doing? I’ve wasted more time for nothing…
 

 
Since it won’t fit in the back, the customer’s bike is parked near the entrance…
It won’t be done unless I keep at it, so let’s get to work.
