Odd Jobs: Cleaning up Spare Tranny

Scrubbed the new rusty gears and then a few of them went for an Evapo dip.  Also removed circlips for the first time for a complete disassembly.


Added the second "spare" RU-0060 K&N filter to Ivy just for show, but realized it just barely clears the frame on the offset configuration.

Thought of maybe switching it over to Astrid and seeing if she'd run, but the OD on that carb is about 38mm.  But it would be a very interesting experiment as it would mean I can literally move the entire head and carb over from Astrid to an S90 without switching carbs.  At least it gives me another carb option.  So I guess I'll pick up a 38mm K&N...

Spare Wheel: Rust Dip

Take the old aluminum "fender" that I made in TechShop organic metal class, add some kids' modeling clay, and finish off with Evapo-Rust.  Viola.

Ivy: Friday Session

A good long Friday afternoon session and went through a laundry list of little jobs.

1. I'm still amazed by how effective Evapo-rust is.
2. Got 1 new 2.50x18 Battlax plus 2 new IRC 2.50x18 tires for $25 on eBay (Marty in the sunset)
3. Painted
1. brake stay - black
2. battery cover - ivory
3. steering stem plastic hood - ivory (after fixing the crack with E600 epoxy)
4. stem nut washer - black
4. Had intended to flip the rear brake arm from an upward orientation to downward (which I thought was the norm), but in the down position, it seems to knock against the exhaust mount.  Odd.  But since I had everything off, I ended up sending it for an Evapo-rust bath
5. Unboxed 
1. new head cover - one fin had a small crack
2. new 44" brake cable for low bar - too short on the current bar, as expected
6. The front brake arm had heavy corrosion/damage on the outward side, decided to do a little experiment and paint it metallic.
7. Verified the cushion mounts are all 10mm x 1.25 fine thread
8. Installed the new banjo bolt into the oil pipe pump.  Still not 100% clear how the oil is supposed to flow through, though.
