I watched Once Upon a Time in Hollywood last night for maybe the 10th time.  It's a movie about an alternate verison of the murder of Sharon Tate.  At one point in the movie this song comes on the radio.  Brought back a lot of memories.  Great movie by the way.

18 hours left, $8600.  Most likely will be in flurry of bids at the end. 

So I got parts today from VINTAGECB750 in Ontario.  I had to wait for the special tool to remove the centre nut. 

I dismantled the clutch and measured the discs and plates.  They were all right on original spec.   The inexpensive (cheap Chinese crap) friction discs are barely within spec thickness and the friction material is much narrower than the original.  So I cleaned and sanded the plates with 600 grit paper, cleaned and oiled the friction discs, and reassembled it all.  The I measured the springs, they were well within spec, but the new ones were a bit taller, so I put them in.  Only 300 miles on the oil but I changed it as well. 

I ran the bike up and down the lane and all seems well.  We’ll see how it goes over time.  I’m confident that the clutch is fine.

  Got one from Wolfgang. Looks like Japanese Shindegan from a distance, but it’s China.
  Gonna check with this guy, only deals with new Guaranteed Shindegan, and the latest  Mofset technology’.

  Conversation this morning about this dude who crashed his gixer into the back of a van.  Sounds like he’s a gangster who was being chased by police helicopter, and kinda messed up.   ;-)

This guy was never one of my favourites but he does a great cover on this song.
