Re: PO has me PO'd

Didn't realize it was directorial until I sat back and looked at

Not sure if I should glue in or not

If you blow up pis you can see there is a rounded nub on the right side and squared off on the left

Jess, I could claim 20/20 hind sight or I could play my old age card but this was just an example of not knowing

Shouldn't have thrown my original doors out 20 some years ago

Re: PO has me PO'd

Thanks guys for checking in, really bummed at myself for letting this happen, but this is part of a build you don't consider

Ok, got my enthusiasm back

Spent a long weekend upstate NY, visiting my sons family

Recently fell off my DRZ, so my son took the dirt bike off of me, He found a Honda pilot for me four wheels much safer, and a hoot to drive

He has 2 tracks on his property 1 a road course dirt and the other with jumps for dirt bikes

Great fun slinging the pilot around the dirt

Back in the shop installed my rear window support now I have to get the window in, we'll see how that goes

Yeah, but it was modified, somehow

It was a blast to drive, not insane but controllable

Re: PO has me PO'd

I would buy a Fl400r Pilot or Fl350 Odyssey if I found one around me I could afford. I bought a CBR1000rr motor to build my own, but never got around to it.

Re: PO has me PO'd

Revisited wind windows

Bottom channel slid on with ease, liberal amounts of Windex

Holding between legs, and pulling with both hands, rear hand keeping pressure up to engage channel when you get this operation done, it will slide extremely easily, reapllications of windex is mandatory

The tool i used is a new panel separater, used to help guide the rubber gasket, CAREFUL this could cut rubber so polish end of tool

Revisited video several times

Now I have to get the vertical

Re: PO has me PO'd

I like to tape every couple inches, making sure the back of channel stays engaged, thats where the tape helps

Catching the channel pry down and push up on the tool, you'll see when you actually do it

Headlamp really helps to see
Don't let it out of your sight

Re: PO has me PO'd

Ok stop at this point, and get the gasket over the L bracket

Helps to tape lower channel to avoid pulling gasket out of channel

Thing is, this is just a trial run, see if I can do it.Not happy with the paint adhesion, chips easily
