Snap-on Starter Current Meter (0 - 600 A)








After cleaning







Non-Harleys at the LB Motorcycle Swap Meet -- 9/22/2019







Handicapped Motorcycle License Plate ???!!!???


Was waiting for a left turn in line, behind a motorcycle & just happened to notice the license plate on it...

What would be the purpose?  Park in handicapped parking spaces?  Not have to pay at the meters?

Shimano Dura Ace Brake Lever "Beauty Trim" Repair

Before Repair (lots of crash damage!)









After repair
This is a cover for the brake lever "beauty cover" from a Shimano Dura Ace brake/shift lever assembly.  I hammered it back into about the right shape & smoothed the surface.  I didn't "polish" it to a mirror finish like the original finish but it's close enough that if it was put back on a bike, it would blend in enough to not be too noticeable.




As this picture shows, the difference in the finish is not too bad, from a distance.
Putting the repaired cover back on a lever.
Even in a closeup picture like this, the repair looks presentable.  


Here's another damaged lever with a dented cover (& road rash on other plastic parts & a little bit of damage on the lever itself).  I'll try to fix this to make it presentable again.


The lever on the left has a very slightly damaged cover also.  Will improve it also.


The two other covers before repair.
