so I'm getting the bike ready to start polishing the frame and I only had the gas tank and the drivers foot pegs left before I can start with the prep. The gas tank seemed simple, I didn't have any problem with the hose's that people said are "welded" on. So the last thing was the hing part at the back of the tank. I figured the four bolts came out of the tank and waa laa. I got the first bolt out and didn't look at it close and started on the seconed bolt and relized I broke both of them!! aaarrrggghhhh
Not a major problem, So then I seen the two bolts that hold the bracket to the frame and the tank was off. I'll get some new bolts and a e-z out and it should be fixed. I think they made those bolts out of swiss cheeze.
So after getting pissed off about that I took a deep breath and settled down and started on the foot pegs. All the allen bolts came out fine and then I was working on the cotter pin for the rear brake bracket. I seen that if my plier slips while pulling the pin out I would scratch the swingarm. So I covered the swingarm with a rag and pulled and sure as sh!t it slipped and it went thru the rag and now I have a wicked scratch on the swingarm!!
Any tips on how to remove a scratch from the swingarm?? The only way I can think is a 4-6 extended swingarm.. har har
Sorry about the long post, I just need to vent.
