Tech assignment Alec Dawdy

What I have done so far on the motorcycle.

-Removed seat

-I took it off for when I was going to power wash the bike because I didn't want to get the seat wet

-I took it off by flipping the seat up and taking the screws off from underneath it then I was able to remove the seat

-Power washed the bike

-We power washed the bike to wash the bike off because it was kind of dusty and had some dirt on it

-Took off gas tank to sand it        

-Sanded gas tank to prep for painting with 320 grit sandpaper. We did this to make the tank smooth and nice to paint.

-Shocks

-To remove the front shocks, I had to first remove the headlight, the speedometer and the handle bars

-Once I got the shocks removed from the frame I disassembled the shocks.

-I had a problem where I had to make my own tool and prepared the outer part to be polished

-Removed the headlight

-I took the headlight off so Ben could look at the wiring in it

-Removed the handle bars

-I had to remove the brake lines and some bolts to remove the handle bars. I removed the hand bars so I could take the shocks off and so I could later on polishes the hand bars.

-back shocks

-I took the back shocks off to clean them up and then take the back wheel off

-Taking the back wheel off

-I took the back wheel off by taking the nut off the bolt that was holding the wheel to the frame and then lightly tapping the bolt through with a hammer.

- Got a new seat because the old one was rusted and really dirty. We even found a wasps’ nest and some cocoons

-We used some of the parts from the old seat such as the the latch because the one on the other seat was damaged.  

-And now the class (the boys) has fully disassembled the bike.
