Tried to get the fuel pump on my 87 CBR600F working. Replaced points without knowing what I was doing. Pump thunks when key is turned but that’s it. I think points were installed wrong, I believe I sent in rod sticking out of pump needs to contact the metal plate in points, just not sure how to make that happen. I will take a look next weekend. Progress is slow when you only see your bike on some weekends.

What did you do in your garage today..?
- Thread starter Hack
- Start date
Managed to finally get this @#$@#$Y*@#! toolbox onto the pannier rack.
I'd think that since Givi makes the panniers for Triumph and they're identical except for badging, that Givi parts would fit the Triumph rack, but I'm wrong. Givi uses a bolt and nut, Triumph has the threads in the rack. The racks are probably different sizes as well, or the Givi wouldn't fit either.
I had to mount it lower than described in the instructions to clear the frame.

Just got the Barkbusters on the Triumph and a bicyclist wanted to test them out:
He stopped at his cyclist stop sign for the car, then decided he could squeeze in ahead of me, or I'd stop for him, or he was a pedestrian or didn't think about it at all. I'm not sure. No helmet of course. If he'd pressed the button and walked his bike across, I'd have been happy to stop. Well, maybe not happy, but I would have stopped. I double checked before to make sure that cyclists had stop signs there rather than assume.

Zip ties.

I learned the hard way to never use zip ties on license plates. I was stubborn and lost two because I though the first time I had them too tight, but even loose they managed to cut through. Unless you meant metal zip ties, in which case as Roseanne Roseannadanna used to say, "never mind".
Tried that before….plate cut right through.

Looks like you've owned a few Harleys.
Filter changes for both cars. Not bike related but high time.
Volt engineers sure love using screws everywhere….

Good question, I don’t know other than I had read good things about them and they were readily available (and priced well) through Amazon
Sooo.... are we new bike shopping?Good question, I don’t know other than I had read good things about them and they were readily available (and priced well) through Amazon
Done and buttoned up. Starts. Test ride has to wait until another day.
All openers and closers were in spec as per Ducati, albeit on the looser end. I could have been neurotic and tried closing them up but figured, why? It runs good. I think definitely by the 36k mark I’ll need to re-shim a few.
I didn’t take many pics because I wasn’t making a tutorial
, but I’ll attach a few.
