1) Inspect Cam Chain, possible cam chain mod. 2) Chain Conversion 3) Move the heat sink to air box. 4) Build a stand to raise the wheels to waist level - I don't mind stooping down, it's the straightening back up that's painful 5) Paint the rims - replace the spokes with black SS 6) Paint tank, fenders, side covers. 7) Install LED side markers for more blinkers - some people just don't see me changing lanes. 8) Winter tuneup: Battery, oil, filters, spark plug. 9) Fine detail cleaning - like 3 rolls of paper towel cleaning.
If I could get 2 of those things completed, It'll be a good winter.
I just ordered a kerosene heater (24k BTU) and a quartz infra red heater (5k BTU) for the garage. I plan on firing up the kero heater so I can install the quartz heater - it needs to be hard wired. I'm installing the quartz heater directly above the space I have cleared to work on the Savage. If I can keep it up to 50 degrees in there, I can work all winter long. I'm hoping the quartz heater is all I need, with the kero heater for help warming up the slab. From what I read, most of the heat in a garage gets sucked up by the slab, if I can warm that up, I should be OK.
All and all, I can devote about 4 hours a week to the machine, but I work slow. The winter ends for me on March 1st, so what ever dont get done, will either get pushed off a year (ie, paint), or done durring the season (tune up).
