Last post by MarioR - Today at 09:36:24 AMQuote from: aviationfred on Today at 12:14:11 AMFor those that are interested. My Honda RC30 Tribute project is pretty much wrapped up. It definitely is a long reach for the clip on. I can't wait to ride this in the twistys.

Good job!
Red color combo looks sharp and solo seat tail making bike look even better, sexy!

Great news! Glad that worked out.
While you have the vacuum out, I suggest that you vacuum out the cylinder to extract any tiny pieces that may remain in the cylinder.
Just a thought . . .

Last post by Gratis - Yesterday at 08:13:13 PMToday was a good day. I 
got that damn brass piece out. I appreciate all the comments and suggestions, here's what worked: First, borescope. No way to do this with out that. Knowing where the part was I could grab it with the claw, position it TDC and drop it there. Then with the borescope inside a straw I could precisely place the straw, extract the camera and place the vacuum on the straw. Lift the straw with the piece out enough to grab it with hemostats. Then while holding it with the hemostats slip a bent screwdriver under the part for leverage. Then while jamming the piece with the screwdriver dremel a hole into it. Now put a punch in the hole and wobble it back and forth while pulling up. Hope that makes sense. Finally moving on with this project!
