Reply #33 - 10/28/04 at 06:04:05 Tuckpointing means re-doing the stuff (mortar) that goes in between the stones to hold them together. Over time it deteriorates and you just have stones sitting on top of each other with no "glue" between them. Tuckpointing has to be done to brick buildings too.

So you tuck stuff between the points. Makes sense to me. So I guess that when sealing the headcover with silicone rubber, I'll just say that I "tuckpointed the headcover." Then everyone will understand Roll Eyes

BTW - as far as this topic is concerned, you won't have time for a winter project. You'll be too busy moderating all of us Grin

That bike looks pretty darn familiar for some reason....maybe I've just seen too many. Looks good though.

Why is the brake pad red in the last photo?

I like the rear fender job. Does the license plate move too much for the cops to read it?

Where is the regulator? In the airbox?

What kind of rear shocks are those?

Need another project idea for this winter? Just an idea, but to put a finishing touch on the solo look, pull the swing arm and weld the holes for the passenger pegs

the bike should not be familiar we live on vancouver island and just finished building, maybe put on 700 miles , started with a stock 86 red savage, the pads are red becuase i replaced them and did not paint knowing they would come off in winter to do fork seals will paint then, regulator is in air box,yes we will weld pass peg mount holes, and the rear shocks are standard but with chrome exhaust tips sliped over and set screwed into place.

To go with the stainless hose and banjos I have now got two stainless banjo bolts, one plain and one with a bleed nipple to go on top of the master cylinder (highest point) to help get all the air out.
The other thing I got for KLX is a manual low speed fuel so instead of turning the carb on it's side and poking a screwdriver down a hole to get at the screw now I can just turn it by hand with the carb in position.Of course you LS guys don't have that problem.

Well, maybe it will be more familiar in the future Grin

My NEW "Winter Savage Project List" is both short and long....load 2 Savages in back of Ram pickup truck, remove windshields, install bike covers and tarp, and drive west 2700 miles to Portland, OR.

It could be that we'll meet on the Left Coast one of these days 8)
