Ah yes, safety wire:  The novice racer hazing ritual...  

Hardest compound known to man?  Easy... the Hondaminium that they make CBR600F2 brake caliper bolts from. 

Not my first rodeo... first racing endevour on this bike though.

Went and shot some skeet. Used to shoot competition. Haven't shot much in years but close to the purdue university trap and skeet club now. 4 time shooting this year. Lows 50's here today so went through a tank of gas. Wiggled my way around the wasbash river. Did about 20 miles of gravel and dirt rodes on the factory tires still. Great day for December.

The rear shock is driving me a bit annoyed... I have to pull the tank to get to top mount bolt, I could do it from the side if it was not for a MCruise connection right in front of the nut... sigh... I shall finish another day 😑...

BTW I'm loving my cordless impact wrench which was the highlight of my day...it barely even had to work to bust the bottom shock bolt nut and dog bone... it's a Milwaukee M18 FUEL 1/2" impact wrench- little sucker got enough TQ to start a locomotive 😁...

My buddy has a Stoltec-spec Penske on his FJ and it is configured the exact same way.  Mine was ordered through Traxxion Dynamics and the hose is longer and attaches to the canister differently.  I have been thinking about getting a right angle banjo bolt type connector fitted the next time I have my suspension in for servicing.

20191210_131850.jpgDitto mine has had it's 2nd coating ready for the UK winter, rock salt is on the roads so I can use it through the coming winter! I have to say acf is great and if there is one product you need in the winter it's this.

I picked one up over the summer, great tool. 

Although I had a bolt at work and our M18 couldn't get it loose the other day... It was not a fun day.

The regular M18 is only about 450TQ, the FUEL like I have is like 1400TQ... gotta be a bad day if 1400TQ cant crack a nut...

No photos of it, just yet, but after meeting with Dave Moss for the suspension set up, he recommended that I get new levers (adjustable).  I got some new Pazzo levers from PJschurchofspeed.com and finally got them installed.  Got the matching red to go with the bike.  They look great.  Was able to get them adjusted for a perfect fit for my hands.  It's like riding a brand new bike.

I couldn't agree more.  I have used Pazzo levers on my last few bikes and LOVE them, I use long clutch and shorty 2-finger brake.  I will never own another bike without adjustable levers.

Great choice!  I have the Pazzo levers on my FJ, and love them... worth every penny.   I went with the long levers on both sides; black with red adjusters.   It's nice to be able to mix & match lever styles and colors...
