What did you do to your F6B today?

I've got women that think you should be able to get in a 130° car , turn the AC on and in two minutes it should be 65°. And you can't explain to them why you can't make it happen. Its been a frustrating few weeks.

Back in the day, on very hot days, when customers brought in their vehicles that thought there was something wrong with their AC system. I would show them, with the gauges hooked up, and explaining the pressures, I would run water over their condenser to cool it off and show them just how well their AC was actually performing. The vehicle would cool right down.

I shudder every time I see pic's of the air filter replacement. I can wrench but removing Tupperware to this depth is a whole 'nother ball game.

And that's what I thought. But I picked up a set of those, how to videos, from Wingstuff. I went with Fred Harmon's video set. Knowledge is half the battle.

Very nice !!!! Nothing better than black and chrome !!!!! That front wheel is HOT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....Love the rotor !!!...First Class !!!!!

Thanks Steve. I appreciate that. I really like this bike. I didn't think I would ever like this as much as my 109. I like it better now. Not just cause its mine but it is a good looking bike. I've worked hard on it and invested way too much money. But hey , I've had a lot of fun doing it. I like working on it as much as riding it , well almost.

With 12.5K miles, I checked the steering head bearings last week. Stem nut was tight. Torque wrench set at 21 lb/ft (per the manual) and it clicked before turning the nut any further so it was ok. However, the locknut was totally loose. After bending down the tabs on the retaining ring I turned the locknut another one full turn to even make contact. Cranked it down tight after checking torque on stem nut and bent the retaining ring tabs back up. Job done.

Yesterday I replaced the air filter. Yikes, big job. Six hours start to finish. Should be quicker next time but this was my first. Didn't need replacement, was barely dirty. Will let this one go 18K and change at 30K miles.

Yesterday, I gave 'JetFire' a first coat, quite a noticeable difference.


Today I finally got around to installing the JBL GTO638 speaker upgrade, & installed a Show Chrome drink/bottle holder.


Can't wait to take it for a spin & see how the speakers are at speed.

Many thanks to all of the contributors & participants here on the forum!!

Pulled her out of the shop, thinking I was going to change her oil.
Wound up building a wine rack in the 3d bedroom closet.
