    zip ties, zip lock baggies, wired paper tags, parts bins, & pictures. All tricks to keep things straight & in order. I have a parts bin like that full of '67 305 Honda Dream parts, & lots of shelf space for the bigger parts.

    Remember the wall of death?

    Well this is the ceiling of pipes!
    Just get laugh every time someone bangs there head on one. Nothing like a big black spooge ring on their forehead.

    I have 4 expansion chambers hung on the edge of the steps going up to the loft in my barn. Sometimes I bump on the low hanging ones on my way to the workbench under that stair set.

    Those are the best ones till we bang our own heads on them.

    We have a shed called a cob house. Where they stored corn cobs to burn in old stove. The doorway is real short and I think everyone in our family has been laid out backwards by that short doorway.

    Ok, so doing some comparisons on fork seals:

    Probably the two best pairs I installed were:

    K&L throught WPS, Western Power Sports.

    Justintendo recommended the K&S.

    Both of these seals have like extended wipers on the seals which is a good thing.

    i not certain but i suspect the kl are the same as ks..maybe only in certain applications...either way, they are both very cheap! odd i had never had the best luck with fork seals and had to constantly clean them out. i never put much thought into the wiper/scrapers you put over them. after getting a new set, im amazed at how tight they fit, and they really do a great job at protecting the seals. ever since i started using new scrapers ive had virtually no problems with seals..im no mx master but i put them thru fairly muddy wet conditions for up to 6 hours at a time.

    So, doing lil homework. Looks like I can get rid of those back brake lever bushings and press in 2 sealed bearings S688-2rs, with a 10 mm spacer wrapped in small foam between bearings.

    Those bearings will work great in rear brake levers. Found a 8 x 10mm spacer to go in between them from Mc Master Carr.
    I will use some foam around spacer or silicone to keep the spacer centered.
    I will get u pics on how gonna do it once bearings and spacers arrive.
