You're getting there. Looks like you're doing some nice work.

I see some big valves with actuators in the background. I'll assume your a pipefitter/welder? Reminds me of my days in the nuclear plant. That was a lifetime ago.

Not a pipe fitter or welder unfortunately. Just a regular old shit kicker!
The company I work for sells control valves for gas pipelines, these are carcasses of old.valves you can see.

I've seen your work and I'm upgrading you from "good old shit kicker" to "Manager of Effluent Distribution" You deserve the credit. I don't know any shit kickers who do their own powder coating. And it's obvious you have a passion here. Keep up the good work.

As much as I'd like to take credit for that, the powder coating is someone else on the forums not me.....
I am going to steal "Manager of Effluent Distribution" though! You're not getting that one back!

Got a bit of work done tonight.
Rebuilt forks, replaced headstem bearings, fitted aftermarket replacemtn fork ears but they are too short and the headlight points to to sky as it fouls on the bottom triple..... will have try something else.

Also made my own tool for removing the damper rod as per another thread on this site. Worked a treat.
