Maybe removing just the heat shield will work.
You don't have to take the valve cover off. Just the intake manifold and then the dreaded exhaust shields and 02 housing (I never really removed the 02 housing just disconnected and let it hang out)
I cleaned off my Enkei's off car. Last time they were cleaned was the day of the car show in Kentucky....
I got my confirmation message that the powder coater will get my front subframe crossmembers & anti-sway bar powdered in the next couple days...Finally, progress can continue!
I've also been prepping to do a batch of like ten front valve covers this weekend...Hopefully they help to free up some more cash as I'm going DD car shopping very soon.
Rode the bike at dusk, visor is now pretty much completely made of bug guts.
Also realized today is my four year anniversary with the money grubbing whore I call the car.
I picked these up after work today...:wink-new:

Mine won't be quite that pretty when I am done with them, but I am not powdercoating them, only paint.
Fresh state inspection and emission stickers on her. Also finally did a quick alignment, the car is actually enjoyable to drive now instead of all over the damn road.

Well, hit 180 miles (odometer, not MPH obviously) on the bike today. Itching for this damn break in period to be over with already.
Also installed frame sliders as well, and adjusted the dampener to around what it should be for a 180-200 pound rider.. Won't save much in the event of an accident, but there are no case sliders or anything else really for the bike yet (also not sure if it'd be worth it.) The instructions/directions for installing the frame sliders were not very clear, has me on the fence about purchasing the OEM service manual now since I have no guarantees it will be any better. Still likely worth it vs paying for having service done.
