Well done!
Thanks !
So shiny! The precious!
The shiny should .... besides cleaning up the ugly tool marks........ Help to make the arms even a little lighter, by making it easy for them to shed or "flick" oil off. Which would other wise accumulate on the rough and pock marked surface. In theory anyways.... Every little bit helps. A little hear , a little there and all.... But I really just could not stand the way they looked unfinished.
I see stuff like this and I get a strong urge to start taking my bike apart - just for fun!
What's wrong with me?
Nothings wrong with you Matt !...... Go get some and learn along the way. This shit is Fun !
It only takes a couple/few hours , with some basic tools to do it. Dremal...grinding wheel or belt sander... fine sandpaper...polishing wheel, and etc. Get creative and use what you got. Just leave the ball, shaft, and wipe surface alone. And you don't need to spend a mint ..... you already HAVE rockers . ...
It should help to let the bike rev up quicker, let the valve spring spend more time controlling the valve, instead of that massive weight on top of it, less wear and tear on the valve train and etc... lifters, rods and etc. Little things add up....
@gashousegorilla...for better heat in the garage...nay I suggest "Jameson's".
Oh yes Brother..... I do believe in some internal heating as well

GHG - About that, I wanted to also tell you that when I put my box fan on low behind my catalytic heater it acts like a forced air heater and heats up my garage to 75-80*F in less than 15 minutes. Then I usually shut it down for about 20 minutes or so and repeat the process. A 20# cylinder will last me a couple of weeks of regular use and the only time I get cold is when I run out of gas.
Scottie
That is an excellent Idea Scottie..... I love it ! THATS being creative ! And you are SMART to shut that sucker down every once in a while. Most Cats don't.... that Co can kill ya if they let it build up. I have been responding and investigating those calls for many years..... It can get ugly.
After......
