For encouraging me to take apart my motorcycle and bring it into the house to clean and polish it etc... using the kitchen sink.

not.
That is very kind of her. Did you know that the dishwasher is great for degreasing parts? I used mine to clean both engine case halves and the cylinder head. I prewashed them with kerosene and Dawn first though.
oooooh, don't forget the oven...set it at 450* to cure the Hi temp paint. Turn the fan on...It smells like shit. Really, really pisses her off.
Even with the exhaust fan on and the windows open and evap cooler on high, it takes awhile for the smell to go away.
Man 'o man if she ever saw my bike parts in "her" dishwasher, I would be sleeping in the garage....no if's and's or but's about it.
We should get together and write a book. I bet we all have stories. That way we could learn from each other... :hang1:
Problem with a book Pat, is that my wife would read it and figure out what we're up to when she's gone. When the Cat's away...

SweetI never thought to use the dishwasher lol.
I have had 6 or 7 sets of GP1200 cylinders in the oven to remove old and then install new cylinder sleeves.
I have also done 3 GP1200 engine rebuilds in my old apartment.(total rebuild)
I have honed GP1200 cylinders and replaced stuck piston while at my campsite so I could ride the next day.
Scott....
That's nothing, I reassembeled a aircraft engine in the living room.
Now see if you can beat that one.
:biggrin:
I've found that the kitchen is a great source of useful things that have a motorcycle application. Pots and pans to soak parts in kerosene, (the tupperware couldnt hack it) and cutlery which is perfect for modification for the bench grinder.

Skinned a bobcat in the living room.

yes please help me :flag_of_truce:
craigo i will keep looking for your advice , thank you
Aloha amigo, No worries, I gotcha covered. See the second post: http://www.fjowners.com/index.php?topic=5821.0 (http://www.fjowners.com/index.php?topic=5821.0)
cooooool , thx bro
got it , :] one more question , did you any problems aligning the bolts holes when putting back together
The frame bolts can be fussy as well as the swing arm pivot bolt. Lift up the back tire and wiggle it a bit and the pivot bolt should slide thru. Keep all the frame bolts loose until all of them are threaded. Don't forget to use blue Locktight on the frame bolts. Cheers
your the man , thx soooo much , when i get her back together ill post some pics , thanks again, aloha

That is a great photo! Very, very cool.
What a team mate. Look at her concentration. Look at her determination. Sleeves rolled up, hands in the middle of a tight spot. Don't talk to her now because she is busy! Damn-it! This fooking gizmo is going to succumb to her wishes and ministrations, one way or another.
That picture is sexy as hell..... You are a lucky guy.
FWIW, I agree with you guys... I married well. I admit, we're still on the honeymoon (only been married 34 years) but that's okay. One of these days we'll grow up. I have other pics where she is upside down doing wiring under the dashboard of a Toyota off-road truck that we were doing a small block swap and several others of her grinding, using a plasma, and welding on my Ranger truggy. Oh, she also took most improved shooter in a pistol league we did a few years back before I learned the error of my ways <wink, wink> and made all those horrible firearms go away.
