Its all strategic Dave. I put the beer fridge in the garage but was using the cooler to wander off. I took the cooler out of commission so I couldn't wander to far from my work before the beer got warm

Thanks for clearing that up for me, I was quite worried! Nice selection too I see.

Just don't get too p!ssed in the shed. It is possible...I've heard ...to drop ones bike when moving it after a few beers .

I rebuilt the rear caliper and mounted it today

I picked up a parts bike and it seems to be a lot cleaner than my original. The brake caliper was pretty clean from the beginning

Thanks Al.

Anyone have a recommendation on front brake pads? I'm keeping the discs stock but was wondering if there is an affordable pad upgrade?

I pick up EBC HH pads from time to time on ebay for cheap $$$

Any Smithwicks left ? - like that beer/ale selection ! also what's that River Horse Stout like ?

Thanks Sprock I just ordered a set. The River horse is the closest beer ever gets to chocolate milk.

Thanks Alain, I like your paint scheme.

The next step is to mount my motor but I am not sure if I should use the motor I rebuild that had 26,000 mls on the clock or the motor out of the parts bike that has 12,000. In the mean time I cleaned up the radiator and put in an aftermarket Muzzy aluminum fan. I am not sure about the red but don't think you'll be able to see it.
