Yeah ... sometimes doing mechanical work can be a pain in the arse by yourself.

 

Sherry, I seem to have a lot of those days when it comes to doing a simple job/ turn's into a pain in the arse.....I feel your pain......

 

The feeling of accomplishment is magnafied by the dificulty of the job involved. You will feel FABULOUS when it is done.:thumbsup:

 

Fun, ain't it?

 

Come to find out, the bars were made wrong. I emailed the guy and he said that he has had complaints before, he'll give me a refund and don't worry about sending them back. I ordered some Linbars instead. Universal saddlebags bracket to not fit my bike, back they go and I ordered some bike specific ones. Sissy bar, got it shined up and got the 4 new bolts I ordered for my bike. 2 of those bolts are not long enough...sigh So for the 3 weekend projects I had about 3/4 of one got done Once I finally get all this stuff on I'm never taking it off again!

 

I did an oil change & replaced the brakes on my mini van this weekend. A job that should not have taken longer than 3 hrs turned into a 10 hour job. Snapped wheel studs, stripped bolts, hard to remove parts, multiple trips to the auto parts store, etc etc. That said, it is nice to not have your brake pedal almost hit the floor when you slam the brakes. That and it actually stops the car instead of bring it to a gradual stop.

I am proud that I can down this stuff, but I am soar as hell today!
