With law school and the bar exam safely behind, it's time to get back to the 3 B's of life.

As shown below, Amal's actually polish up quite nicely if you have plenty of time and scotch to spare. Some light wet sanding and a buffing machine does them a world of good. These are 932/300 off a later 850 Commando that have been retrofitted to my Atlas because they have bigger throats. Learning lesson from this weekend. The later model Amal's have the pilot jet fixed INSIDE the carb. Do not put a pilot jet in these carbs, there is one in there already. For some strange reason Amal kept putting thread in the pilot jet holes even though they were fixing the jets in the inside of the carbs. It will not idle with 2 pilot jets in each carb.

My new oil filter from Norvil. Fitting was surprisingly easy and changing the oil and filter will now be a 10 minute job. Oil can now be drained directly from the bottom of the bike rather than from the oil tank drain plug and making a huge mess. Filters are cheap:)

Student loans + eating nothing but Ramen noodles = new chrome.
