Rebuild time for the touring pig

Like the tool box..

[Coyote]

Very nice. Is the base like a conventional car motor stand?

The base is just like the top and is bolted to the floor.

I like the lift got two of them and a couple of the handy bob 1500's its nice not to have to bend over to much ( I'm 6'5") so I still got to bend some

[No Cents]

 that's almost too pretty to work in...a very very clean working environment. The way it should be.
I'd be afraid to walk around in there for fear of wanting to touch everything.
Nice work shop!

So did you invest in the Timken tools to do it yourself. .? Are you planning on doing enough bikes to pay for the tools? I'm just wondering, why not send the cases off to someone like Tman or DH who line bores the case halves. I've read late model bikes don't have alignment and doing Timken conversion without this step isn't the best idea.

Edit to add: Thanks for all of the pictures. You have a very nice shop and tools. No expense spared. When you get to applying sealant to the halves would you be willing to share a picture as I'm headed in there this winter.

Yes, I bought the tool. Many tools I have purchased over the years don't get used a lot. But when I need one, it's there and I don't have to wait to get stuff done.     I don't think there is any alignment issues but I suppose time will tell.

   thats key "not depending on anybody but yourself" and you know its done rite. My next tool is going to be wheel bearing remover and installer.

Go for the Pit Posse and piece together what you need to turn it into the JIMS. Much cheaper and practically identical.

So long to the 37's. They served me well for 4 years.

The Fueling pump and plate still look good. Just need some new seals on the pump.

37s were decent back in their day, outdated by todays standards. What are you going to go back with with?

Gotta love the pee pad for a throw away bench top!

I learn something new every day! No more newspaper bench tops for me.

[autoworker]

Good choice you have made with the pistons.

[Deye76]

What lifters are you going with?

What lifters are you going with?

I have a set of S&S in the parts drawer.

[BUBBIE]

Might he use the 57 cause of the more LIFT? Had such a good Running bike with the 37's...

I remember being BEHIND him...

[mike jesse]

Post #4 clearly states GMR 577's.
